Heart Attack symptom: Hi this will vary for men and women. It is much easier, actually to define the symptoms for a man. Women can present with significantly less severe symptoms and still be at great risk. Any chest pain, feeling of doom with palpitations, shortness of breath, nausea, sweating and numbness should prompt one to ask if this is a life threatening event. Your doctor should be able to describe your risk.
