Blood clots in the heart are not the most common, but they still happen. A blood clot in the heart causes symptoms that are similar to that of a heart attack. Many experience intense pain, tightness, and pressure in their chest, while others experience shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and fainting. A patient may also experience discomfort in his or her neck, jaw and arms. Not all blood clots in the heart are accompanied by noticeable symptoms; some patients may remain symptom-free until the blood clot breaks. If the clot is big enough, a person may have a heart attack. Those who experience symptoms resembling a heart attack should seek immediate medical assistance.
