What are the signs of a heart attack in women?

I believe everyone knows that once women reach middle age, they will experience various conditions. Menopause is one of them, which will make our bodies weaker and our resistance will decrease. However, menopause can also lead to a higher risk of heart disease. So everyone must pay more attention. So what are the signs of a heart attack in women? Let me introduce it to you today.

Women should pay special attention if they experience the following symptoms:

1. Persistent, unexplained fatigue

This fatigue often occurs after brisk walking, and you don't even have the strength to straighten your body. Fatigue is not limited to one part of the body, but is systemic.

2. Shortness of breath

In addition to common symptoms, some heart disease patients also experience shortness of breath and breathlessness. This breathing difficulty is often referred to as "not having enough breath." After a few minutes of sitting still, breathing seems to return to normal. But when the patient starts walking again, he starts breathing heavily again. This type of wheezing is often ignored, especially by the elderly with lung disease.

3. Indigestion, upper abdominal pain or nausea

Unlike common stomach problems, stomach pain caused by heart disease rarely causes colic and stabbing pain, and tenderness is not common either. Instead, there is a feeling of stuffiness and fullness, sometimes accompanied by dull pain and nausea.

4. Jaw or throat pain

Pain on both sides of the jaw, sometimes radiating to one or both sides of the neck.

5. Arm pain (especially left arm)

The left arm and shoulder are most commonly affected, but in severe cases the disease may radiate to the right arm. Although the pain was not severe, it was difficult to raise my hands and arms.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has already understood the signs of female heart swelling. In fact, people who have never suffered from heart swelling do not understand the extent of the pain. It often looks like severe pain, but in fact it should be dull pain. If dull pain occurs on the inner side of the forearm, you should pay more attention.
