In fact, the most common sign of a heart attack is a feeling of strong pressure or compression in the chest. Additionally, some heart attack symptoms are subtle and difficult to recognize. Among them, we will learn about the subtle signs of heart attack that may appear in women through the information introduced in “Prevention”, an American health media.
Digestion difficulties
Because the heart sits above the stomach, the symptoms of a heart attack are sometimes confused with simple indigestion. According to experts, in the past, symptoms of indigestion in women were often overlooked because heart attack was thought to be a common disease in men. Dr. Marla Mendelsohn, associate professor of cardiology at Northwestern Medicine, said: “Many women still take antacids at home when they have indigestion, but if their indigestion symptoms are different than usual or last more than a few minutes, they seek medical attention immediately “Do it,” he said.
Jaw and back pain
A heart attack can also cause pain in the jaw or back. However, rather than causing pain directly in these areas, heart pain spreads to other parts of the body, i.e. radiating pain. When pain radiates and affects nerves, it spreads from the area where the pain was originally felt to other parts of the body. In other words, if the pain occurs in the heart, the pain can also occur in the jaw, back, or arms.
continue to feel bad
Like indigestion, it is due to the position of the heart. “Because the heart is close to the esophagus, heartburn can feel like a heart attack and a heart attack can feel like heartburn,” said Dr. Erin Donnelly Michos, associate director of preventive cardiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. According to Dr. Michos, the most important thing here is time. She explained: “If the symptoms last for more than 5-7 minutes, the discomfort does not go away even after sitting down and resting, the symptoms appear suddenly, or if the symptoms are new and did not exist before, a heart attack may occur “. be suspected.”
I feel breathless even when I sit there.
If you find yourself short of breath while sitting on the couch or unable to climb stairs, it could be a sign of a heart problem. If the heart cannot supply enough oxygenated blood, our body must breathe rapidly to get more oxygen, resulting in shortness of breath. “Symptoms of a heart attack vary from person to person, and just because you don’t have chest pain doesn’t mean it’s not a heart attack,” said Dr. Amy Sarma, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. is wrong, you should consult a doctor immediately.” .
I feel dizzy and nauseous.
Nausea can be a sign of a heart attack. However, nausea rarely appears on its own and is often accompanied by other heart attack symptoms. Therefore, there is no need to panic just because you feel nausea, but check if other heart attack symptoms such as chest pain or dizziness appear together.
