Women tend to be about 10 years older than men when they have a heart attack. They are more
likely to have other conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and congestive heart
failure – making it that much more important to get proper treatment fast.
Women should learn the heart attack warning signs as mentioned above, i.e. pain, discomfort in
your chest, shortness of breath, nausea, etc. The most common heart attack symptom for men
and women is chest pain or discomfort. Yet women are somewhat more likely than men to
experience some of the other common symptoms, like shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting,
and back or jaw pain.
