Eight Heart Attack Symptoms in Women You Shouldn't Ignore and When to Go to the Emergency Room I know I shouldn't say this in public, but it needs to be said Many heart attack deaths would have been prevented If these women had paid attention to these symptoms than I I'll show you now Many people believe that a heart attack happens like this suddenly, but recent research shows that women have symptoms several weeks before they have a heart attack. Knowing this information can literally save lives. First Symptom: Chest Pain A feeling of tightness or throbbing pain, especially in the center of the chest, lasting several minutes This pain can range from mild to severe.

A 2003 study found that thirty percent of women who had a heart attack said they had chest discomfort for weeks before the heart attack. Second symptom: Extreme fatigue or unusual fatigue. This is one of the least recognized symptoms.

How to identify this fatigue? By doing normal activities that don't require a lot of effort and still feel a sense of tiredness. So you understand, a heart condition can cause fatigue due to the additional stress your heart is under, trying to pump blood while part of the blood flow is obstructed.

Third symptom: Tremor or weakness This is an acute symptom of a heart attack in women It manifests as a feeling of heaviness or weakness in the arms, may be accompanied by dizziness, anxiety or fainting If you are noticing any such symptoms, do not hesitate to consult a doctor . Fourth symptom: difficulty breathing. If your heart cannot pump blood properly, you may feel that you are losing air.

If you notice that you are breathing heavily even without exerting any effort, especially when accompanied by fatigue or chest pain, you should see a doctor. Fifth Symptom: Excessive Sweating Excessive sweating or sweating without a normal cause can be another common heart attack symptom in women. Clogged arteries require your heart to work harder to make your body sweat more, to try and keep your body temperature down.

This happens due to the activation of a defense mechanism known as nervous sympathetic sweating. Sixth symptom: Pain in the upper body. Pain concentrated in your chest, left arm, upper back.

Pain that cannot be attributed to a muscle or joint. Sometimes it's so intense that if you're sleeping the pain can wake you up. Seventh Symptom: Palpitations or cardiac arrhythmia Heart pounding or changes in your heart rate, feeling that the heart is pounding in the neck.

If you notice a heart rhythm disturbance constantly, you shouldn't ignore it. If your tachycardia is accompanied by dizziness, chest tightness, chest pain or fainting may be a sign that you are having a heart attack Eighth symptoms: Sleep disorders In a 2003 study, nearly fifty percent of women said display sleep disturbances in the weeks before the heart attack. This can include difficulty sleeping, difficulty getting back to sleep, unusual awakening during the night, and tiredness despite sleeping well People who sleep less than six hours a night have a twenty percent higher risk of suffering a heart attack.
