Top Warning Signs That You May Have Heart Problems

Jaw Pain That Has Travelled

If a patient has ever experienced jaw pain, they might have felt it when they had a very bad cold or a sinus infection. This alone is not a sign of heart problems. However, jaw pain can indicate the presence of heart problems and a heart attack. Specifically, a patient will want to pay attention to how the jaw pain travels. If the patient senses pain or tightness in their chest, and the pain travels up to the jaw and its surrounding area, they should seek emergency medical attention immediately, as this is a common sign of the patient experiencing a heart attack. Specifically, the pain will affect the lower jaw more than the upper jaw as well. Even if the pain stops in the throat or if the individual cannot truly indicate what spot the pain has migrated to within the jaw region, they should still seek medical attention as soon as possible.
