Questions from Flower Mound patients.
What does a heart attack feel like?
Most often, pressure, tightness or squeezing in the chest lasting more than a few minutes, sometimes spreading to the arm, jaw, neck or back. Shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea or dizziness can accompany it — or, especially in women, be the main symptom.
Can urgent care treat a heart attack?
No. Urgent care clinics typically don't have stat troponin labs, continuous cardiac monitoring, or IV cardiac medications. Any suspected heart attack needs true emergency-room-level care.
How fast will I get an EKG?
We aim to perform a 12-lead EKG within minutes of your arrival for anyone reporting chest pain or related symptoms.
Can a heart attack come on slowly?
Yes. Symptoms can build gradually over minutes to hours rather than striking all at once, which is part of why people sometimes delay seeking care. When in doubt, get evaluated.
What's the difference between a panic attack and a heart attack?
Both can cause chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is exactly why self-diagnosing is risky. An EKG and troponin test can tell the difference quickly — that's why we run them for anyone with concerning chest symptoms.
