Heart attack symptoms are different in men, women

It’s no surprise. Men and women differ in many ways.

Some of the differences are funny and some are serious. Serious as a heart attack. Because the symptoms are not the same for both genders it’s important to know the warning signs. Early treatment can save your life.

Let me say this, if you think you’re suffering from a heart attack if you have any of the symptoms I’m going to describe here, call 911. Do not try to drive yourself to the hospital. Do not take the time to call someone to come take you to the hospital. The emergency crews know how to initiate treatment that can mean the difference between life and death. I’m serious here.
