Are these the only symptoms of myocardial infarction?

No. If you have angina, you may find that your angina symptoms (for example, the chest pain) have been getting progressively worse, or that the angina symptoms come on while you are resting as well as when you are active. If you have an angina attack that your usual angina medication does not relieve, or if it lasts longer than 15 minutes, you may be having a heart attack and should call for an ambulance.

Some people do not get chest pain when they are having a heart attack. They get symptoms such as shortness of breath, sweating, pale skin and feeling faint. This type of heart attack is more common in the elderly and in people with diabetes, and it is known as a 'silent heart attack'.
