There are the signs that are easily ignored, including a binding feeling in the chest like being wrapped with tape, hearing loss and buzzing in both ears, toothache, headache, and pain around the navel, pining pain in the soles of the feet, soreness pain in left shoulder blade, left upper limb, and left leg, as well as long-term dizziness or sudden fatigue and drowsiness. If the above situation occurs, it is necessary to pay attention and take medical examination. When acute symptoms such as chest pain and tightness accompanied by profuse sweating, severe squeezing pain behind the sternum or precordium occur, the patient should stay in bed, stay quiet, take nitroglycerin under the tongue or inhale nitroglycerin spray, and call 120 immediately to seek help from first-aid professionals.
