Feminine Signs of a Heart Attack

Heart attack warning signs can be different for women.

Just like men, women may experience:

• Sudden chest pain or pressure that worsens.
• Pain in the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

Women are more likely to have:

• Unusual fatigue.
• Cold sweat and dizziness.
• Lightheadedness and faint feeling.
• Feelings of nausea and vomiting.

If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
