Cardiologist called heart attack attacks that women can experience.

Women can have a sense of impending doom. The feeling that something very serious is happening and that it is out of control. This is combined with fever, sweating, weakness.

The study showed that women are 50% more likely to receive the wrong initial diagnosis after a heart attack and are half as likely as men to receive life-saving treatment in a timely manner.

Three quarters (73 percent) of women do not realize that coronary heart disease claims twice as many lives as breast cancer every year And three out of five women (60 percent) did not know that the risk of heart disease increases after menopause.

The most common symptom of a heart attack in women is the same as in men: a feeling of great pressure or heaviness in the chest that lasts more than a few minutes.

“There may also be weakness, sweating, or shortness of breath, as well as discomfort in the arms, neck, jaw, or shoulders. Blood pressure may drop and the heart may begin to beat irregularly, too fast or too slowly.”

All of these can cause distress, panic, and the feeling that something bad might happen.
