Dear Waves,

These sound worrying.
It is not likely to be heart, but in the event it is the heart, you need an mdoc or ER type place. Do you have what we call Urgent Care here?

Quote:
Women are less likely to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack and seek treatment right away. For more information on heart attack in women, click here

Women tend to have heart attacks about 10 years later than men do 1.

By learning and recognizing the symptoms, women can become more assertive in their treatment.

The most common symptoms of heart attack in women are 2:

* Shortness of breath
* Weakness
* Unusual fatigue
* Cold sweat
* Dizziness
* Pain or pressure in the back or high chest
* Pain or discomfort in one or both arms
* Discomfort may be described as pressure, ache, or tightness; may come and go
* A burning sensation in the chest or upper abdomen
* Irregular heartbeat
* Nausea
