Knowing the signs of a heart attack can save your life. The most common symptom in men and women is chest pain or discomfort. Women are somewhat more likely to experience some of the less common symptoms of heart attack, including shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, unusual fatigue, and back or jaw pain.
Time is muscle! Every minute treatment for a heart attack is delayed, more heart muscle dies.
