Heart Attack Symptom To Be Aware Of

Sudden and unusual tiredness or lack of energy is one of the most common symptoms of heart attack in women, and one of the easiest to ignore.  It can come on suddenly or be present for days.  More than half of women having a heart attack experience muscle tiredness or weakness that is not related to exercise.

If You Have Trouble Breathing...

Severe shortness of breath is a key heart attack symptom to be aware of.  This symptom can come on suddenly.  It may occur while you are at rest or with minimal physical activity.  You may struggle to breathe or try taking deep breaths.  Shortness of breath may start before or at the same time as chest pain or discomfort, and can even be your only symptom.  If you have trouble breathing, see your doctor.
