Identifying symptoms of a heart attack in women is crucial because they can often be different from men. Here are 8 possible symptoms that women should pay attention to:
- Chest pain: This may range from tightness to chest tightness or pain. However, not all women experience this typical pain in heart attack.
- Extreme or unusual tiredness: Women often report a feeling of extreme fatigue in the weeks before a heart attack. This may persist or worsen just before the incident.
- Weakness: A sudden feeling of weakness, beaverness or dizziness may occur, sometimes accompanied by anxiety or light-headedness.
- Shortness of breath: Unexplained shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as tiredness or chest pain.
- Sweating: Excessive sweating without obvious cause, sometimes accompanied by a cold or clammy feeling, may indicate a heart attack.
- Upper body pain: Non-specific pain in areas such as neck, jaw, upper back, arms or between shoulder blades. This pain can begin in a particular area and spread.
- Sleep disorders: Problems with sleep, such as difficulty falling asleep, waking up at night or feeling tired during the day despite sufficient rest, may precede a heart attack in women.
- Stomach problems Unusual symptoms such as pain, pressure, indigestion, nausea or vomiting may occur prior to a heart attack.
It is important to remember that not all women will experience the same symptoms, and some symptoms may be subtle or come and go. If you suspect you are having a heart attack, seek medical help immediately even if the symptoms appear mild. Early detection and treatment can save lives.
