Specializes in Family Medicine

Yes, if the pain is: Unrelenting, best to have it checked out since women not uncommonly have atypical presentation for heart attack. Tightness in chest, radiating to neck or arm, profuse sweating, nausea are common symptoms, but severe chest pain should be investigated without delay.
