    5 Things to Say to an Ill Friend

    So, what can you say to an ill friend that will make her happy?

    1. I don’t know what to say, but I care about you.

    2. I’m going to the grocery, so what can I get you?

    3. Do you just need to vent? I’m all ears, and I won’t repeat it.

    4. If you need a good cry, I’ve got plenty of tissues and a shoulder. It’s OK to cry.

    5. I really admire how you are handling this. It’s a huge challenge, and I admire you.

    Heart Attack Warning Signs

    Most heart attacks start slowly with mild pain or discomfort. Here are signs that a heart attack is happening:

    Chest Discomfort: Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of your chest that last more than a few minutes – or goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, pain, or fullness.

    Upper Body Discomfort: Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

    Shortness of Breath: This symptom can come with or without chest discomfort.

    Other Signs: Nausea, lightheadedness, or breaking out in a cold sweat.

    If you think you are having a heart attack, call 911 right away or have someone drive you to the hospital.
