Toothache. Pathology of the heart can cause it due to the location of the vagus nerve, which passes from the brain to various organs of the body, including the heart and lungs. In some cases, such pain is a sign of a heart attack.

Pain in the stomach.Patients describe the pain felt during a heart attack as feeling sick in the stomach. It is often accompanied by a feeling of heaviness without sharp pricking symptoms, usually lasting more than a few minutes.

Thick neck. Waist size is usually associated with the risk of heart disease, but experts note that the size of the neck is also important. A neck circumference of 16 inches or more in men and 13 inches or more in women may indicate a higher likelihood of high blood pressure, high triglycerides and low “good” cholesterol — heart attack factors, doctors warn.
