I am a woman in my 50s and though I work long hours at a desk job, I try my best to get my daily steps in. A colleague recently had a heart attack, and I’ve read that symptoms of a heart attack in women can be different to those in men and may not always be the typical pain in the chest and arm. Is this true? What are the symptoms women should be aware of?”
Some people have heart attacks without symptoms. Women may not get typical left-side chest pain that might go into the neck/ jaw or left arm. They may get lesser pain or pain in other parts of the chest, back, shoulder which can be hard to tell if it is the heart or not. But if you are feeling unwell with those symptoms, you are better off to be safe and call for help.
