Women vs. Men Heart Attack Symptoms

The signs of a heart attack are different for women. As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women may experience other symptoms that are typically less associated with heart attack, such as shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain. Women are also more likely to ignore their symptoms. Dr. Eduardo Sanchez shares what you should know about heart attacks in men and women.

Watch House Calls: Real Docs, Real Talk for trustworthy information on managing health conditions and preventing heart disease and stroke. Hosted by Dr. Eduardo Sanchez, the chief medical officer for prevention at the American Heart Association, each episode features science-backed information and practical advice to help you live a longer, healthier life.

We dismiss our symptoms because we are used to being disregarded. We take care of everyone but nobody takes care of us.

It’s so easy to dismiss the symptoms if it’s indigestion or fatigue. The clearest symptom is tight chest and shortness of breath.

"Women take care of your symptoms!" Uhhh most of us do. We're then dismissed by docs because it's "Oh it's just your period" "Oh it's just your anxiety" "Oh, this is just psychological" "Oh you have POTS? yeah its just that" So if we note these symptoms we will be told we're being dramatic, that its just "acid reflux" or any other excuse or told to take a tylenol and go nap.... That's why a lot of us die. Because even if we notice we're dismissed, gaslit, and told it's nothing compared to a man.
