Aortic Aneurysm vs Heart Attack: Common symptoms you shouldn’t ignore

Not every chest pain is a heart attack; sometimes it’s far more deadly. According to the studies published by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), nearly one in three patients with an aortic dissection is first misdiagnosed, most often as a heart attack. This is because of the early signs like severe chest pain, sweating and breathlessness, which may overlap with symptoms of a heart attack and confuse people and experts, leading to wrong treatment costing precious time, or a life.
