Which of the following is NOT listed as a common sign of a heart attack?

Headache is not a typical sign of a heart attack. The signs most often listed are chest discomfort or pressure, shortness of breath, and nausea (often with sweating, dizziness, or pain in the arms, neck, jaw, or back). These reflect the heart struggling to receive or pump blood. A headache, while common for many other reasons, does not usually indicate a heart attack. If someone experiences chest pain or shortness of breath, seek emergency help immediately.
