Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in The United States. Every 34 seconds someone dies from cardiovascular disease. every year, about 805.000 people in the United States have a heart attack. Knowing the warning signs for a heart attack can be lifesaving!
Listening to your body can help you know if something isn't right, symptoms like chest pain or discomfort, pain or tightness in your arms, a rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath, pain in your back or jaw, light headedness or nausea can all be signs something is wrong. symptoms might not always seem serious right away but it's incredibly important to talk to your doctors if you every experience any concerning symptoms.
symptoms can look different in men and women so it's important to know what heart attack symptoms can look like in both. Both men and women commonly experience:
Pain or discomfort in their chest
Feeling lightheaded
Shortness of breath
Pain in jaw

Nausea
Fast and/or irregular heartbeat
Men usually experience the more "classic" heart attack symptoms which include:
Chest pain or discomfort
Feeling shortness of breath
Fast and/or irregular heartbeat
Breaking out in a cold sweat
Feeling lightheaded
Symptoms that are more common in women are:
Pain or discomfort in arms or back

Upset stomach
Shortness of breath
Both men and women can experience any of these symptoms, but some symptoms tend to be more commonly experienced in either men or women. If you believe you may be having a heart attack call 911 for help immediately.
Waiting too long can be incredibly dangerous. If you have heart disease, it cannot be overstated how important it is to talk to a doctor as soon as concerning symptoms appear, if you believe you are having a medical emergency call for emergency services right away.
