Women's Heart Attack Symptoms

Are Men and Women Different?
By Dr. Mehmet Oz
The Oprah Winfrey Show | June 03, 2009

Dr. Oz quote:
"Most men having a heart attack have shortness of breath, break out into cold sweats and feel severe pain or discomfort in their upper body," he says. "One-third of women feel no discomfort in their chest, which can cause them to wait longer to go to the emergency room."

Dr. Oz says women who are having a heart attack may feel shortness of breath, weakness, flu-like symptoms, indigestion and nausea. If you think you might be having a heart attack, Dr. Oz recommends calling 911 immediately.
