Women: Know the Most Common Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Last updated 9 months ago

According to statistics from the NHLBI, one in four women die from heart disease every year. Although a heart attack may seem like an easily identifiable condition, its symptoms can actually mimic the effects of hormonal imbalances and age-related fatigue.  This short video covers some of the most commonly overlooked signs of a heart attack in women.

Although symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or unusual pain in the back, neck or jaw may seem like unrelated conditions, they could also be a precursor to a heart attack. A heart attack can develop and intensify over several days or even weeks.

Increase your heart health knowledge by contacting Southern Hills Hospital’s Accredited Chest Pain Center in Las Vegas, NV. View our patient testimonials online and call (702) 880-2700 for more information.
