This is a list of the most mutual heart attack symptoms. From chest pain, nausea, heartburn to the “Levin’s Sign”.
1. Chest pain: This is the most mutual symptom reported by heart attack victims. If you all of a sudden get started to have pain in the chest, you must call a doctor or go to the emergency room immediately. The pain from a heart attack may be severe, but it doesn’t have to be. Sometimes mild pain is a sign of a heart attack.
2. Pain in the shoulders, arm(s), or jaw: Pain may radiate from the chest or you may feel more pain in these three areas than you do in the chest.
3. Nausea, fainting or dizziness, weakness or anxiety: Sudden nausea, weakness and dizziness with a fear that something is wrong. Common sensations or changes in women.
4. Pressure in the chest: Mild to severe.
5. Irregular heart beat or palpitations: This is when you may in truth feel your heart beating and may tell it is beating quickly or “fluttering”. Sometimes this may be misunderstood as an anxiety attack.
6. Shortness of Breath: If the heart is not pumping correctly, it will be difficult or inconceivable to breathe. If you feel short of breath after a amount of time of rest, such as when you get up in the morning or you have been riding in a vehicle all day, this must be taken even more seriously.
7. Heartburn: You may feel pain in the same area as you do when you have eaten something you shouldn’t have eaten. Don’t dismiss heartburn pain.
8. Sweating excessively: Breaking out in a sudden sweat and sentiment “clammy”
9. The “Levin’s Sign”: The classic movie “fist kept to chest” position. While a lot of people don’t do this, some do so mechanically when they are having a heart attack.
10. No Signs at all: A heart attack may take place without any signs or symptoms. This doesn’t mean of course, that you must run to the emergency room because you feel good. Many women don’t feel any pain at all when having a heart attack. Diabetics and seniors are also at risk for this symptom. If you have any chest discomforts or you have cause to worry regarding heart disease, see your doctor and have your heart check out. Of all the symptoms, this is the worst one of all. The only way to ease this symptom of heart attack is to prevent the heart attack.
A 10 Attack
A valentine for one of the ugliest, even though most lethally effective, warplanes ever built–as well as for the men who flew them for the duration of the Desert Storm campaign. Drawing on consultations with over one hundred A-10 pilots who served in the Persian Gulf for the duration of the 1990-91 hostilities, Smallwood (himself an aviator and Korean War vet) offers riveting perspectives on aerial combat. Setting the stage with an informative briefing on how, in the 70′s, the Air Force produced the A-10 (a.k.a. “Warthog”) as a means of supporting ground troops with massive firepower, he moves into anecdotal vignettes detailing the ways in which so-called “hog drivers” and their commanders whiled away the weary hours of the calm before the storm in Saudi Arabia’s inhospitable clime. At the heart of his narrative, however, are bright accounts of how A-10s accomplished their tank-busting missions and then a lot of once the battle was joined. Tasked, amidst other objectives, to take out missile launchers and artillery emplacements far behind the front lines (assignments ordinarily reserved for jet fighters), the slow-moving, to a great extent armed Warthogs were credited with over half the bomb harm inflicted on Iraqi forces and installations. Employing improvisational tactics, A-10s also flew reconnaissance and assisted in rescues of coalition pilots; they even scored air-to- air kills, downing a couple of enemy choppers. Indeed, the plane’s ungainly Gatling-gun platform performed so well that pilots demanded their craft be redesignated “RFOA-10” (for “reconnaissance/fighter/observation/attack”).
“An absorbing tale of how a decidedly ugly duckling became a military hero of a great deal of consequence.” —Kirkus Reviews
From Publishers WeeklyThe A-10 is a slow, stick-and-rudder airplane built around a Gatling gun capable of firing 4000 rounds a minute. It is an ugly beast (thus it is nickname: Warthog), but “hog drivers” think highly of it because of it is capacity to stay aloft after absorbing gross punishment from enemy aircraft. Smallwood, who interviewed 143 of the pilots who flew the A-10 in the Gulf War, here presents an exhilarating, fact-packed narrative that conveys the aroused as well as the technical/tactical distinct elements of the Warthog venture for the duration of Desert Storm. In the war’s introductory phase, A-10 squadrons carried out a precise preemptive effort versus targets that could affect the outcome of the allied ground campaign. Throughout that four-day operation, A-10s provided close air aid for advancing coalition forces and decimated two Republican Guard divisions. The Warthogs flew an intermediate of 193 missions per day for 42 days and are credited with demolishing at least half of the Iraqi armor. Six Warthogs were lost. Two pilots were killed. A priceless addition to air-war literature. Military Book Club main selection.

 Very well written and informative – hard to put down
By SD TX
I got this book because my son has recently been assigned to train in an A-10. I was very impressed with Mr. Smallwood’s writing style. He manages to convey the excitement, danger, and novelty of the A-10′s mission and the immense dedication of the brave and courageous pilots who flew in the Gulf War. I learned much of the “lingo” used by the “Hog Drivers” so if I hear it in the future I’ll understand. I’m pleased to learn that my son will be flying in such a tough machine. I now call the A-10 the “Guardian Angel” of the ground troops. Please convey my appreciation to Mr. Smallwood for his excellent work. S. Doyle Houston TX

Read it – it’s as simple as that READ IT!
By A
This is an briliant book, even if you don’t like the A-10 (which I love). It tells that story of how a ugly, slow plane became a swan during the Gulf War. You get an understanding of how it must have been to fly the Hog, on missions it wasn’t designed for. As I said earlier, if you have just the smallest interest in aviation, you have to read this book, and if you like the A-10 – well then you MUST read this book.

A Must-Read for Hog fans!
By A
I am a former Comm/Nav troop from the 76th that got out before the Gulf War. This book really helped me see what our planes did over there when all the news footage and other specials only show other bases! It was great to “hear” from people I knew on their experiences! I couldn’t put the book down!
