Heart Attack Warning Signs In Women

Experiencing Lightheadedness

Feeling lightheaded or dizzy could be a signal of low blood pressure or the need to eat at least a little food. However, if there is no discernible cause of lightheadedness, particularly when it is accompanied by other symptoms such as a cold sweat and shortness of breath, it could be an indicator that the heart is not getting enough blood and may trigger a heart attack. Thus, it is essential to pay close attention to lightheadedness, particularly in a scenario like this.

Indigestion And Stomach Pains

Indigestion and stomach pains can mean many things, such as eating a little too much during a meal or some food not agreeing with the individual’s stomach. Indigestion and heartburn caused by a meal typically occur immediately following the meal and will usually alleviate after taking an antacid or burping. Any discomfort or pain, when it is the result of the meal, does not normally spread to the arms, shoulders, or neck. Additionally, if indigestion or pain is accompanied by other previously discussed warning signs (e.g., cold sweat or lightheadedness), or there is significant pressure on the stomach, it could indicate an impending heart attack. If these indicators accompany indigestion then, seek medical attention as soon as possible. It is better to be safe than sorry!
