Heart health: Fun facts about heart disease every woman should know (it could save your life)

Chest pain and shortness of breath are thought to be some of the most common symptoms of a heart attack. However, identifying a heart attack is not easy. Experts believe that heart attack symptoms can vary depending on a person’s age, health condition and even gender.

Men and women are thought to experience many different types of symptoms associated with a heart attack.

Men are more likely to experience chest pain/tightness, upper body pain and discomfort, pain radiating and radiating to the arm, left shoulder, back, neck, jaw or stomach, irregular heartbeat, dizziness and vomiting cold sweat.

Conversely, women may experience unusual tiredness that lasts for several days, sleep disturbances, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, indigestion, jaw pain or pain that radiates to the jaw, upper back, shoulders, or throat, and chest pain and pressure, which may spread to your arm.
