Heart attack symptoms for women, are they different?

Heart attack symptoms for women, you know, the typical chest pain (that also applies to men), is not always the most striking in women ... ...

You might be wondering: a heart attack is a heart attack, does it matter if it happens with a man or a woman? Why talk about heart attack symptoms specifically for women?

Well, in a sense a heart attack is a heart attack, but at the time of the attack, it may vary between a man and a woman. However, the end result is the same for both, though.

(P/s: a heart attack occurs when part of the heart muscle due to lack of blood flow die of; it means usually a blockage in the artery heart)

Let's see what are the most common symptoms of a heart attack first, then only zero-in for those who are more specifically for women.

70% of people will experience a kind of symptom in their chest but it may not necessarily be a pain; It can be a pressure or burning and can be up to their shoulders, or jaw or neck or back. On the other hand, some people don't have a lot of chest pain at all-they only have discomfort or pressure in their back or between their shoulder blades is experiencing many also shortness of breath; get nausea; maybe even vomiting and thinks they're the stomach flu could get some very sweaty and clammy and break into a cold sweat; palpitations or feeling lightheaded

You can see that the symptoms wide.

Now, we will see what are some symptoms that more specifically for a woman when it comes to heart attack.

The truth is, there are no real symptoms that can be referred to as ' women Symptoms "when it comes to heart attack.

However, if we look at the wide range of symptoms (for men and women), women may be more likely not have pain in their chest but maybe in their shoulders or between their shoulder blades and possibly more of GI symptoms, nausea or vomiting, sense or feeling of an upset stomach.

But ... There are still of men who have lots and lots of women have typical chest pain ....

What women need to find is so this-to know what all the symptoms.

Having said that, you still want to know what a woman should do if they are not the typical symptoms, correct? Maybe she has nausea or dizziness or feeling sweaty or clammy .... and she is concerned that this may have a heart attack.

What should they do?

Well, I think they should do this 3, at least:

If this is a new symptom is that she never had before and the sustainable more than a few minutes and she really feels unwell, she has her doc or 911 call on the other hand, if it is a symptom that they had before and is an antacid has worked for the, it's fine to try the antacid and see if that works

If they could be a heart attack suspect, they should tell her doc that (because her doc can be especially do not know if they do not like the typical heart attack "type look") and get tested for a heart attack
