As we age, it is important to know the warning signs and symptoms ofheart attacks. Heart attacks can strike males and females of any age. Though almost half of fatal heart attacks occur in women, men are more at risk for heart attack. If you think you are having a heart attack, seek medical attention immediately.

  1. Chest discomfort is the common symptom of a heart attack in both men and women. The discomfort can come and go, or it may linger. Since most heart attacks will generally start slow and mild, you may be inclined to dismiss the pain as nothing serious. However, you should be mindful of any pain in your chest area.

    Many heart attack patients report that the pain feelslike someone is squeezing their chest, or that they have very uncomfortable pressure -- almost like a weight was placed upon their chest. Other people report they knew they were having a heart attack because the pain was very intense.

  2. If you are having a heart attack, you may have discomfort or pain in other areas of your body. The pain is usually in the upper body and can center around the neck, jaw, arms, back or even the stomach.

  3. Nausea, dizziness and breaking out in a cold sweat are also common symptoms of heart attacks in women. Women also seem to experience nausea/vomiting and shortness of breath more than men during a heart attack.

  4. You should be aware that silent heart attacks account for up to one fourth of all heart attacks. Silent attacks occur with no symptoms and are more common in women, especially those with diabetes. The only way to know that you may have suffered a silent heart attack is through an electrocardiogram.
