Heart attacks in women are more likely to cause death than in men. Often times the symptoms are vague and not the typical ones we are told to pay attention to. Women, often, try to convince themselves they are fine and talk themselves out of the symptoms.
They frequently don’t experience the chest-grabbing, arm tingling symptoms men often experience. The signs can be much more subtle. Symptoms include:
- “Nausea”
- “Indigestion”
- “Fatigue”
- “Dizziness”
- “Chest pain”
- “Burning sensation”
- “Uncomfortable pain between shoulder blades”
- “Shortness of breath”
- “Unexplained fatigue and sleep disturbances”
Don’t ignore your symptoms because you’re worried about looking foolish, or don’t want to make a big deal. Take care of yourself, seek advice, you can’t help anyone else unless you take care of yourself first.
