Doctors say that "female" symptoms of a heart attack are characteristic due to the biochemical processes of the female body. It turns out that many ladies feel the first harbingers of a heart attack a few days before the attack.

Pain. The most important symptom of an attack is strange sensations in the chest - pain, discomfort. They may appear as early as a couple of weeks before a heart attack.

Fatigue. 10-14 days before the attack, you may suddenly experience unreasonable fatigue and malaise. Basic actions, like picking up bags or walking up the stairs, take effort. The feeling of exhaustion does not leave even after the woman has rested.
Weakness. Weakness in the upper and lower extremities, the desire to sit down, be silent and catch your breath - these are alarm bells. This condition may be accompanied by dizziness, loss of consciousness, flies before the eyes.
Breathlessness. Rapid breathing without reason (walking quickly, actively gesturing, for example), especially if it goes in tandem with weakness and chest pain, may indicate serious problems with heart. Some may suffocate even when lying down. Symptoms disappear when you sit down and straighten your back.

Sweating. If you suddenly began to sweat too much, for no apparent reason, then you should immediately pay attention to it. Feeling like the sweat is cold is a sign that the heart is "running out".
Upper body pain. It is difficult to understand exactly where it hurts. The neck, jaw, upper back, or arm may ache. The pain migrates: it starts in one place and gradually gets worse.
Sleep disturbances. Already a couple of weeks before a heart attack, a person may begin to sleep poorly. There are problems with falling asleep, and the dream itself is bad, intermittent.
Gastrointestinal problems. Some women may feel pain and heaviness in the stomach. Mild nausea for no apparent reason, sometimes up to vomiting, indigestion are all symptoms that are worth looking out for.
