Neck or throat
Jaw
One or both shoulders
Arms
This pain can feel dull, aching, or tight rather than sharp.
5. Nausea, Indigestion, or Stomach Discomfort
Many women mistake heart attack symptoms for:
Acid reflux
Food poisoning
Stomach flu
Warning signs can include:
Nausea or vomiting
A heavy or uncomfortable feeling in the stomach
Indigestion that doesn’t go away
6. Dizziness or Lightheadedness
You may feel:
Faint
Unsteady
Like you might pass out
This can be caused by reduced blood flow from the heart and should never be ignored.
7. Cold Sweats
Breaking out in a cold, clammy sweat without a clear reason—especially when combined with other symptoms—can be a serious warning sign.
