Quote:
* Pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain in the center of the chest, which may spread to the neck, shoulder or jaw;
* Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath;
But many women don't have chest pain. In the Circulation study on early female heart attack symptoms, researchers found that during a heart attack, 43% of the 515 women studied had no "acute chest pain... a 'hallmark symptom in men,'" according to study authors.
