Men and women experience similar chest pains, but do you know that women can experience cardiac arrest without any chest pressure or pain! In most cases, the signs of cardiac arrest are subtle but the consequences are deadly especially for people who don’t get help right away. Let us discuss a few heart attack symptoms for women:
- You can experience discomfort and pain in one or both of your arms. Your neck, jaw, back and stomach might ache as well.
- If you feel pain in your chest and if it persists for more than a few minutes, it is likely that you will have a cardiac arrest soon!
- You can also experience shortness of breath without any other perceivable signs of uneasiness.
- Women can experience a few more symptoms before cardiac arrest. They are likely to suffer from jaw pain, nausea and breathing trouble.
- If you are feeling light-headedness, breaking out a cold sweat, try to take precautions that include consulting a doctor.
Most women tend to ignore the symptoms of cardiac arrest but it is mandatory to get routine health check-ups.
