7 warning signs to recognise a heart attack quickly (and timely)
The pain of a heart attack begins in the chest but it can move to different body regions, including the arms, shoulders, back, neck, jaw and upper stomach area. The heart’s nerve supply extends to these areas, which explains why pain spreads throughout them. Women often experience heart attack symptoms primarily through pain in their arms, shoulders, back, neck, jaw and upper stomach. Medical help becomes essential when chest pain or unusual discomfort in these areas persists, and occurs suddenly while accompanied by chest pain symptoms. The prompt identification of this symptom enables patients to receive urgent medical care.
