American Heart Association/Jump Rope for Heart

Help Me Be a Heart Hero!

I'm joining millions of other kids to help save lives with the American Heart Association's Jump Rope For Heart Program!

I'm doing Jump Rope For Heart at my school and learning how I can help make a difference. I'm also learning about my own heart, and how to take care of it. And I'm getting active and jumping rope!

I'm excited about raising money for other kids - kids with hearts that don't exactly work right. Please help me be a Heart Hero who saves lives! Thank you!

Heart Attack Warning Signs
Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:

• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort. Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness   

As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
