Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, but the warning signs don’t always look the same as they do in men.
While chest pain is the most common symptom for both men and women, many women experience subtler symptoms such as:
• Neck, jaw, back or stomach pain
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness or unusual fatigue
• Indigestion or heartburn
These symptoms can appear at rest, during sleep, or be triggered by stress, making them easier to dismiss. But they can signal a serious heart problem.
If you notice these signs, do not delay seeking medical help. Early recognition saves lives.
