Chest Pain

Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center offers emergency care for anyone with chest pain or other symptoms of a heart attack.

Our new cardiac catheterization lab provides the care and technology needed to unblock arteries and restore circulation to the heart as quickly as possible to improve your chances for recovery.

It is important to seek medical help immediately for a heart attack. People often wait to call for medical assistance, which can delay life-saving treatment. Don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1 if you are experiencing chest pain or any of these symptoms:

• Chest discomfort
  Chest pain, pressure, squeezing, fullness or heaviness
  Located in the center of the chest
  Lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back
• Discomfort or pain felt in other areas of the upper body
  One or both arms, the upper back, between the shoulder blades, in the neck, or jaw
  May have a feeling of fullness in the stomach
• Shortness of breath; trouble breathing
  Can take place with or without chest discomfort
• Other symptoms
  Breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, dizziness, unusual tiredness and/or pale skin

Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center also provides comprehensive diagnostic studies for non-emergency care. Call (623) 524-4000 to learn more.
