If you think having chest pains is the only sign of a heart attack, you are sadly mistaken. This post focuses on the 7 signs of a heart attack, but there are many more signs that can indicate you may be experiencing an attack. Today I’ll focus on women as signs vary between men and women.
February is National Heart Awareness Month. February is a month when we celebrate matters of the heart from all facets, but unlike Valentine’s Day, the focus of Heart Awareness month is a serious one aimed at saving lives. During February organizations and individuals draw attention to Heart Disease and Stroke in an effort to increase education, and raise much needed funds for research. This post is part 1 of a 3 part series on heart attack and stroke awareness.

Signs of Heart Attack in Women: Not Just Chest Pain
Women are more likely than men to have symptoms other than chest pains. According to the Mayo Clinic, some of them are:
1. Neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back or abdominal discomfort.
2. Shortness of breath
3. Pain in one or both arms.
4. Nausea or vomiting.
5. Sweating.
6. Lightheadedness or dizziness.
7. Unusual fatigue.
