Indigestion - or - heart attack?

Would you know the difference?

 

"The attack"

 

A pressure builds within the chest,

A weight that will not grant you rest.

It creeps along the arm and side,

A tightening pain you cannot hide.

 

A breath grows short, the air feels thin,

A sudden coldness on your skin.

The sweat appears without a cause,

You pause—but life does not.

 

Your jaw may ache, your back may sting,

The bells of warning start to ring.

A dizzy world, a wave of dread—

Your body knows what lies ahead.

 

Don’t wait in silence, don’t delay,

For time can steal your chance away.

A heart attack comes swift, unkind—

Be swift as well, and not behind.
