When you enter a hospital or other medical care facility with heart attack symptoms like numbness in the extremities and/or chest pain, you deserve proper medical care. These can be signs of a serious conditions and many heart attacks, when not properly addressed, can be fatal.
Appropriate medical care in these circumstances can include:
- A one-on-one consultation with a doctor
- An EKG test
- A stress test. Stress tests are generally performed on a treadmill and measure your heart activity when your heart is operating a level similar to that which is achieved while shoveling snow or running.
