Since your question did last week , you have probably searched for a solution to their problems. If so , I hope you feel better . If you have risk factors for heart disease ( high blood pressure is a risk factor) , your symptoms may be caused by an impending heart attack . Such symptoms in people with heart risk factors (obesity , male gender , smoking , high cholesterol, high LDL , low HDL, high triglycerides, sedentary lifestyle, family history, hypertension , diabetes, etc. . ) Should be considered as signals a heart attack until proven otherwise , immediate medical evaluation is advised.
