Did you know? Heart attack symptoms in women are often different — and far easier to miss. ❤️

Many women don’t experience the “classic” crushing chest pain. Instead, symptoms may look like fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, jaw pain, or discomfort that feels easy to dismiss.

In our newest Healthy Conversations episode, Dr. Shivani Priyadarshni of The Heart Center explains why women are often diagnosed later than men, the warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored, and how knowing your numbers can truly save your life.
