Heart Attack Red Flags For Women: 16 Signs Women Should Watch Out For

3. Perspiring Heavily

Heavy perspiration, otherwise known as “cold sweats” is another common symptom that women recall feeling before they have a heart attack. This red flag can also be associated with nervousness and anxiety attacks as well. For women that notice they begin to sweat profusely despite the lack of being a stressful situation, they tend to think that this is due to their menstrual cycle or the onset of menopause for others. If you begin to notice cold sweating or extreme sweating without any major stressors, consult a doctor about the possibility of heart disease that could lead to a heart attack.
