Is heart attack pain constant?

My neighbour was telling me about her father's heart attack, and she said the pain came and went. I always thought it was constant. So, is heart attack pain constant or does it fluctuate?

Actually, it is usually a constant, heavy pressure feeling, like someone is sitting on your chest yaar. It doesn't just go away in a few seconds. If it's severe and persistent, please call a doctor immediately.

A heart attack pain usually remains constant and feels like a heavy burden on the chest, unlike normal muscle spasms. Let us keep our minds calm, but always seek immediate medical attention if such severe pain occurs.

I sometimes feel sharp chest pain that disappears after a few seconds. Is that normal or should I worry? I get so anxious thinking it might be some heart issue.

Look, heart attack pain is mostly a constant, heavy pressure that stays for more than a few minutes. Don't waste time checking if it is coming and going—if it's severe, go straight to the nearest hospital.

I totally get it, chest discomfort is very scary to experience. Usually, heart attack pain is continuous and heavy rather than a brief stabbing sensation. Please don't take any chances with chest discomfort.

When my father was admitted, the doctor at Max hospital told us that heart attack pain is usually persistent and heavy. You must ask a cardiologist clearly rather than trying to diagnose it yourself at home.
