Heart Trouble Signs For Women
This means that their symptoms may not be the same as the pictures in the old heart book. Women are at greater risk for chest pain (rather than pain), shortness of breath, fatigue, poor digestion or nausea, and back or neck pain. However, women are more likely to experience symptoms of chest pain than men, including jaw, shoulder, or back, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, shortness of breath/shortness of breath, poor digestion, or fatigue.
