Women and Men Experience Different Heart Attack Symptoms

Women often experience atypical symptoms during a heart attack, diverging from the classic chest pain commonly seen in men. Instead, they may present with subtler signs such as shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, back or jaw pain, and fatigue. These symptoms can easily be mistaken for less serious conditions, potentially leading to delays in seeking treatment. Awareness of these atypical presentations is crucial in the early detection and management of heart attacks in women. #chestpain #hear
