Atypical heart disease symptom awareness

Overview

Medical experts are highlighting that heart disease and heart attack symptoms can be subtle or atypical, often presenting without classic chest pain. Reported symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, and discomfort in the jaw, neck, back, or stomach.

Health professionals emphasize that women are particularly prone to experiencing different symptoms, such as vomiting or nausea, which are frequently misattributed to menopause or panic attacks. This can lead to delayed diagnoses. Furthermore, the decline of estrogen during menopause is noted as a factor that increases cardiovascular risk, especially when combined with conditions like obesity and hypertension.
