This news rather came as a shock to everyone. The former drummer Nick Menza of Megadeath suffered a heart attack on stage playing with his band ohm at the club Baked Potato in Los Angeles. He suffered a heart attack while playing a set with ohm and died in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. The internet is grieving over his sudden death.

Musicain, singer Dave Mustaine took to twitter to express his grief and disbelief over the drummer's death.

Well, some of the most common symptoms we think indicate a heart attack are chest pain, breathlessness and sweating. But there is more to recognising the onset of a heart attack than that. In this post Dr Vijay Surase tells you about the warning signs of a heart attack. Here are some of the warning signs of heart attacks you've to look out for:

  • Discomfort or pain arising at the centre of chest (also known asangina).
  • Feeling of suffocation with chest pain.
  • Difficulty in breathing.

Some women and people with diabetes do not have classic symptoms. Women usually have no severe chest pain, but a general weakness and discomfort. This leads to them ignoring the problem until it's too late. Most diabetics develop atypical (unusual) symptoms like profuse sweating or loss of consciousness during a heart attack which may be misinterpreted as symptoms of low blood sugar levels.
