Heart Attack Symptoms In Women

Written by Administrator

Heart Attack Symptoms in Women Differ From Men

There are many differences between men and women, and one of those differences is how each gender experiences a heart attack.

Men usually experience severe chest pain along with pain or numbness in the arms during a heart attack.

Women, on the other hand experience symptoms that appear less severe. Symptoms can be as mild as fatigue or flu like symptoms.

So, the reason more women die of heart attacks than men (in the USA) is because it often goes undiagnosed or mis-diagnosed.

The Healthy Heart Guide reports that many physicians aren't as familiar with reading the heart attack symptoms in women in order to properly diagnose and treat them in time before these women suffer the consequences which can range from a stroke to death.

They go on to showcase the following fact...

FACT: Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in American women...it is estimated that almost 1 in 2 women will eventually die of heart disease or stroke!

According to Dr. Bill Rice at myDNA.com, the top 10 heart attack symptoms in women are...

1	Symptoms during the previous month (unusual fatigue, sleep disturbance and shortness of breath)
2	Shortness of breath
3	Chest pain, jaw or neck pain
4	Weakness
5	Unusual fatigue
6	Cold sweat
7	Dizziness
8	Arm pain or weakness
9	Back pain (usually between or just below, the shoulder blades)
10	Nausea, indigestion or stomach pain

Defibrillators (AED Machines) can help!

Every family with a history of heart attacks or any cardiac problems should purchase and keep an AED Machine in their home and/or workplace. Even if the family does not have a history of heart attack but because of health issues, weight or other factors they have been deemed at risk for a heart attack, they should purchase and keep an AED Machine in their home.

These wonderful and affordable tools can save a life!

You can read more information about heart attack symptoms in women and men at the Mayo Clinic website and we encourage you to research and educate yourself.
