The classic symptoms of a heart attack are pain in the chest, neck, jaws, back, shoulders, or arms. The pain may be severe, but is most often moderate in intensity. The pain may be described as crushing, heavy or pressure-like. These same sensations can occur in the other locations we just mentioned.
Salary. The salary for most members of the U.S. House of Representatives is $174,000 per year, according to the Congressional Research Service. This annual wage is the same for members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Salaries are higher for those in leadership roles. In particular, the Speaker of the House receives $223,500 per year, and the majority and minority leaders of the House each earn $193,400 per year.
The highest-paid representatives were House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, and Minority Leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego, who both earned $90,930. Efforts to limit legislator salaries, including votes to freeze pay and forfeit 12 days of compensation, have fallen short in the eyes of reformers.
