Early heart attack signs as ‘Melrose Place’ actor Patrick Muldoon dies at 57

While it can be difficult to feel beforehand, there are several symptoms one should be aware of in the case of a heart attack.

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has spoken to several people who’ve had a heart attack and survived. They were asked to describe their symptoms.

For example, 60-year-old Bill Schaffer, 60, from New Jersey, explained that he experienced pain in his back when cölimibng stair prior to his heart attack. One day, he felt “sweaty without sweating,” and “feverish without a fever.”

As he sat down to have dinner, Bill started to experience indigestion. He felt his heart was “crushed,” and his wife called 911.
