What is a heart attack like if woman?

Typical sometimes: May be the same as everything described for mostly male populations or slightly different with less pain and more anxiety, or trying to minimize the pain because the woman needs to care for children, family etc. On the other end of the spectrum, doctors sometimes disregard women's heart attack symptoms and attribute them to hysteria. Take yourself seriously!

Variety of symptoms: Heart attack symptoms in women can be very different from the classic symptoms more commonly seen in men - chest pain and difficulty breathing. Women may have those symptoms but some women may have very nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, sweating, or slight difficulty breathing with exertion.
