A member asked:

Symtom's of women's heart attack pain from front to back on right side

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

This : This an excellent question. We have learned that traditional symptoms of a heart attack such as pressure, heaviness, or tightness in the middle of the chest apply more often to men than women. Women may present with different symptoms such as sharp chest pains or dizziness. Therefore, any symptom of chest discomfort should be taken seriously, regardless of the descriptors. While the symptoms you describe are not common for coronary artery disease or a heart attack, depending on your risk factors, you should be evaluated by your health care provider for possible evaluation with stress testing.

Check with your doc: As soon as you think heart attack you should check with your doc. Discuss your risk factors.
