After all, many women don\u2019t even know they have an issue because our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goredforwomen.org\/en\/about-heart-disease-in-women\/signs-and-symptoms-in-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">symptoms<\/a> aren\u2019t the same as they are for men. And those symptoms that are often chalked up to the flu. We all know women have a higher threshold for pain, and many times women ignore little symptoms as nothing to worry about. Here\u2019s what you should know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweating. Pressure. Nausea. Jaw pain. Believe it or not, these are all symptoms of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gethearthealthytoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">heart attack<\/a> in women. They\u2019re also symptoms that women often brush off as the flu, stress or simply feeling under the weather\u2014which could put their lives in jeopardy. It\u2019s also important to note that women are more likely to experience the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea\/vomiting and back or jaw pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of a heart attack:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.<\/li><li>Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.<\/li><li>Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.<\/li><li>Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.<\/li><li>As with men, women\u2019s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of a stroke:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body<\/li><li>Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding<\/li><li>Trouble seeing or blurred vision in one or both eyes<\/li><li>Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination<\/li><li>Severe headache with no known cause<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like more information about getting more heart healthy, contact Dr. Gordon C.
