Heart Attack Warning Signs in Women That Often Get Missed

Women are more likely to dismiss heart attack symptoms as indigestion or anxiety. Unlike the classic chest-clutching pain seen in men, women often experience: - Unusual fatigue lasting days - Shortness of breath without exertion - Pain in the jaw, back or upper abdomen - Nausea or cold sweats If any of these appear suddenly and persistently, don't wait. Call an ambulance and head to the nearest emergency room.
