In recent years, researchers have discovered that heart attack symptoms in women often differ from those in men. A study published in Circulation examined 515 women who had experienced a heart attack and highlighted several key warning signs:
💢 Unusual Fatigue
Extreme tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest.
It can persist for days or strike suddenly and intensely.
😰 Sleep Disturbances
Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Frequent waking or feelings of restlessness during the night.
😟 Anxiety / Sense of Doom
An overwhelming feeling that something isn’t right.
Often described as deep worry or irrational fear.
💫 These subtle signs can be easy to overlook but may precede a heart attack. It’s important to listen to your body and seek medical attention if these symptoms arise.
