Compared to men, women are less likely to believe they are having a heart attack and more likely to delay seeking treatment. Learn the heart attack warning signs (they can be different for men and women) and seek treatment fast. Warning signs include chest pain or discomfort that stays; upper body pain or discomfort, including in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach; and other symptoms like shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness.
