Heart Attack Symptoms in Women That Even Doctors Miss

While men often exhibit classic signs of heart attack like “crushing” chest pressure, shortness of breath, or nausea, women can experience a wider range of other less obvious and frequently misdiagnosed symptoms.

Recognizing these subtle signs could help you or someone you love catch a heart attack early. Why does this matter? Because 95% of women who suffered a heart attack had symptoms for a month or more  beforehand - but most didn’t realize they were heart-related.

The Spectrum of Signals Your Body Sends

Note: Women often experience multiple symptoms simultaneously (3 or more), including many Early Warning Signs and Moderate Signals that men might not report. If you check multiple boxes, speak to a healthcare provider and request a cardiac evaluation.
