Heart Attack
Frequently Asked Questions
18. Should I be concerned if I start
feeling chest pain again after a heart attack?
Many heart attack survivors also have chest pain or angina. The
pain usually occurs after exertion or emotional stress and goes
away in a few minutes when you rest or take nitroglycerin as
directed. In a heart attack, the pain is usually more severe than
angina, and it does not go away when you rest or take your angina
medication. If you think your chest pain could be a heart attack,
call 9-1-1 immediately.
