Did you know many women having a heart attack don't have chest pain? According to Health Day News, "Two out of five women having a heart attack do not experience chest pain, according to a new study.Instead, they may have harder-to-recognize symptoms, such as pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders or back; stomach discomfort; or sudden trouble breathing, researchers said." more
If you have had a heart attack, did you realize you were having one? If you haven't had one, do you think you are knowledgeable enough about a heart attack to know to get help quickly?
