Although heart disease is often thought of as a problem for men, more women than men die of heart disease. The most common heart attack symptom in women is some type of pain, pressure or discomfort in the chest. Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, such as:
Neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back or abdominal discomfort
Shortness of breath Right
arm pain
Nausea or vomiting
Sweating
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Unusual fatigue
