Heart attacks don’t always look the same for everyone. Recognizing the symptoms can save a life—maybe even your own.

❤️ Men often experience chest pain, shortness of breath, and pain in the arm or jaw.
💗 Women may feel nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, or pain in the back or jaw.

If something feels off, call 911 immediately. Quick action saves lives.

Our teams across our hospital are proud to support National Go Red Day and raise awareness for heart disease — the leading cause of death for women.

Heart attack symptoms in women can be subtle and are often overlooked. They may include:
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea or vomiting
• Pain in the jaw, neck, or back
• Extreme fatigue
• Chest discomfort

Knowing the signs can save a life. If you or someone you love are experiencing these symptoms, call 911 right away.
