]]> Women don’t always feel the symptoms of a heart attack in the same way as men. Oftentimes they may dismiss some of the symptoms as something else and not receive the treatment they need in a timely fashion. Women need to notice these silent symptoms and be able to react appropriately to keep themselves ready to react.

Chest Pain. While this is the most common symptoms for men and women, it’s typically felt differently by each gender. Unlike men who feel tightness on the left side of the body, women instead tend to feel pain throughout the entire chest. Many women have been described as it feeling like a vice slowing tightening on their chest.

A heart attack is one of the most life threatening issues that can occur. When the flow of blood is obstructed from reaching the heart, a heart attack will occur. Typically the blood flow is disrupted by buildups in the arteries of fat, cholesterol or other things. This “plaque” in the arteries will eventually break off and form a blood clot, obstructing the blood from reaching the heart.

Heart attacks are also called myocardial infarction. These range in severity, but many are fatal. The good news is that treatment for heart attacks continues to improve. Quick diagnosis and getting help quickly reduces the chance of death and the chance of damaging the heart muscle. Men having a heart attack should contact 911 immediately.
