Both women and men who have a heart attack often have chest pain. However, women are more likely to experience these more subtle symptoms and they may not recognize them as symptoms of a heart attack. Call 911 if you have any symptoms of a heart attack. Early treatment can limit damage to your heart and can save your life.
