Heart Attack Symptoms in Women

Chest pain isn't the only sign of a heart attack.⁠ Women are more likely than men to experience a heart attack without chest pain or discomfort. Lack of awareness around these symptoms often causes women to delay seeking help. In a cardiac emergency, every second matters. ⁠ Common signs and symptoms for women during a heart attack include (but are not limited to):⁠ - Jaw pain⁠ - Pain in between the shoulder blades⁠ - Nausea⁠ - Vomiting⁠ - Shortness of breath⁠ - Feeling of impending doom or anxiety⁠ Women are statistically more likely than men to have symptoms that may seem unrelated to a heart attack, but men can experience these symptoms as well. ⁠ If you suspect you, or someone you are with, is experiencing a heart attack, it is very important to call 911 and seek help with the appropriate first aid in this situation.
