Symptoms of a Heart Attack for Men & Women (It's Different!)
Men's Symptoms of a Heart Attack:
All men should be familiar with these heart attack symptoms:
- Chest pain or discomfort that can feel like uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the chest. It may last for more than a few minutes, or it can come and go.
- Discomfort or pain in other areas, such as one or both arms, the neck, jaw, back or stomach
- Shortness of breath, lightheadedness, nausea, or sweating
- Abdominal discomfort that may feel like indigestion
Women's Symptoms of a Heart Attack:
These chest-related heart attack signs often appear in men, and many women get them, too:
- Pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain in the center of the chest, which may spread to the neck, shoulder or jaw;
- Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath;
But many women don't have chest pain.
In a recent study, common female heart attack symptoms include:
- shortness of breath (57.9%)
- weakness (54.8%)
- unusual fatigue (42.9%)
Women also had these symptoms:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Lower chest discomfort
- Upper abdominal pressure or discomfort that may feel like indigestion
- Back pain
What to do if You Think You're Having a Heart Attack:
Calling 911 is best because emergency medical personnel can start treatment, such as oxygen, heart medications, and pain relievers, as soon as they arrive. They can also alert the hospital to begin preparations for tests and treatments.
While you're waiting for an ambulance, here are other ways to help yourself or someone else having heart attack symptoms:
- The patient should chew and swallow an aspirin, if there is one on hand.
- Patient should stop all activity, lie still and try to remain calm.
