The question of when to go to the emergency room hopefully does not come up too often, but when it does its good to know how to proceed.
Symptoms of heart attack and stroke certainly require immediate attention in the emergency room. Those symptoms include chest pain and/or shoulder pain which goes down the arm. Heartburn can also be a symptom. Other cardiac symptoms of hearth attack are shortness of breath, quick pulse, and palpitations.
