Older adults have a rather different symptom of a heart attack as compared to that of a younger adult. Younger ones typically have chest pain that radiates into the left arm or their shoulder. Older ones have a different manifestation. They have shortness of breath, a slight change in their mental status, diaphoresis or profuse sweating with little exertion, palpitations which indicates a decreased blood flow to the heart or the angina. These are symptoms of an incoming heart attack for an elder.

Due to the lesser ability of the body to fight back, heart attacks in elders are generally more dangerous than that of a younger adult. Any manifestation of this must be addressed quickly. 911 is probably the best bet to get to an emergency room as fast as possible.
