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

8. Chest Pain

Although some women do experience a different type of chest pressure before they have a heart attack, others claim that they feel an intense chest pain. This chest pain is also an uncomfortable feeling, except it radiates all throughout the chest, giving them a feeling of fullness within the chest and not just on the more commonly associated left side of the chest. If you notice that you have been feeling any type of chest pain or uncomfortable feeling in the chest, discuss this with your doctor so that they can see if you have any underlying heart issues, heart disease or even worse, an oncoming heart attack.
