Its very hard to identify a heart attack in a person because pain in heart may be a cause of heart burn or other acidity problems so its better to watch some points so that we can identify the heart attack in that person.

1.We should watch that the person can speak clearly or not because after a heart attack in most cases the patient face problem in speaking .

2.We have to see that the person can raise his hands smoothly or not as it will be very difficult for him to raise the left hand in case of a heart attack .

3.We can see his eyeballs and tell him that he can see properly or not because blurred vision may arise in such situations .

4.Me in many cases saw that during heart attack if we can check the blood pressure , the parameter goes more than abnormal in systolic and diastolic .

5.A sudden urination can occur if a patient suffers from sudden heart attack and that occurs in that spot only .
