Heart Attack in Women: Symptoms Every Woman Should Know

Heart attacks in women can be silent, subtle, and easily confused with less serious problems, such as indigestion, anxiety, or fatigue. Therefore, many women fail to recognize the signs and end up delaying medical attention, which can be fatal. Knowing how to identify the specific symptoms of heart attacks in women is essential to acting quickly and saving lives.

Common Symptoms of a Heart Attack in Women
Although some symptoms are similar to those seen in men, heart attacks in women often present less typical and more subtle signs. The main ones include:

Pressure or tightness in the chest (angina), which may last for minutes or be intermittent
Pain or discomfort in the arms, neck, jaw, back, or stomach
Unexplained difficulty breathing, even at rest
Nausea and vomiting
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Cold sweats
Extreme fatigue with no apparent cause
Pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen
Pain in the right shoulder (less common, but reported)
These symptoms can occur without physical exertion or intense emotion and often appear when the woman is calm or asleep.
