Know the Warning Signs of a Heart Attack (They're Different for Women)

When most people think of heart attacks, they picture sudden and traumatic chest pain.

But heart attack symptoms can be mild and have different symptoms.

The signs may also be different between men and women.

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions notes that not all heart attacks are preceded by chest pain.

Unfortunately, these symptoms are also common for a host of other medical conditions.

If you have symptoms like these, have your doctor check you out.

Don’t delay, because that could cause additional heart damage or even be fatal.
