❤️ Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest ⚡

🔍 Cause of the Problem
Heart Attack: Occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked (usually due to a clot).
Cardiac Arrest: Happens when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions, causing it to suddenly stop beating.

⚠️ How It Can Affect You
Heart Attack: The heart continues to beat but is damaged due to lack of oxygen.
Cardiac Arrest: The heart stops completely—leading to loss of consciousness and is life-threatening within minutes.

🚨 Difference in Symptoms
Heart Attack: Chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea.
Cardiac Arrest: Sudden collapse, no pulse, no breathing, unconsciousness.

👉 Understanding these differences can help you act quickly and save a life.
