Post by on Sunday, December 26, 2021
Heart disease is sometimes called a silent killer, because many women experience no symptoms until they have a heart attack. Women who do have symptoms may notice chest pain (angina), heart palpitations (arrhythmia), shortness of breath, extreme fatigue etc. Women are more likely than men to have pain in the neck, jaw, throat, back, or abdomen.
