Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one killer of women, but heart attack signs and symptoms are often ignored. Men and women can experience different signs and symptoms of a heart attack. The stereotypical “elephant sitting on your chest” feeling doesn’t occur in all women, and some report feeling lightheadedness, shortness of breath, upper back pressure or extreme fatigue. Heart disease is preventable. So talk about your heart health with your doctor at your next visit.
