Contrary to what some say, your small heart and your regular-sized heart act the same way.  (cue the rim shot)\n\nWomen tend to present with more atypical symptoms than men.  Almost always is a sense of shortness of breath.  Other symptoms may be a profound sense of fatigue, chest tightness, jaw and/or neck discomfort, shoulder, arm, mid scapular discomfort.  Many people will say that they are not feeling true "pain."  There may also be pallor, a cold sweat, nausea and/or vomiting, and a sense of "impending doom."\n\nAnother consideration is your risk factors.  Early family history for heart disease (heart attacks, open hearts, heart caths only - not arrhythmias or valve problems), high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking are the big five.  If you are a woman and under 40 then you would need to have nearly all of the risk factors to actually have heart disease/heart attack.  If you are at menopause or later in life a couple of factors would be enough to be concerned.  I hope this helps.

Cardiac enzymes should be drawn and you should have a "Stress test." Just ask your doctor.

One thing could be a sign of a heart attack or you may have ashtma, bronchitis's or some form of a chest cold. If you have chest pains please make sure you get tested RIGHT  AWAY.

Please see your doctor. People are having heart attacks younger and younger these days. I've lost a couple of good friends because they didn't take heart health seriously. Mainly because they were hardly 30 years old. And heart attacks don't just happen to fat people. I'm not saying this to freak you out. It's so simple to go to the doctor and ask questions. You can prevent so much

For most people, the signs are so subtle they never realize they have "heart trouble" until their doctor discovers the fact during a checkup, or they have a heart attack.\n\nMost heart attack sufferers never had a clue until WHAM!  And down they go.  That's why it's so important to learn how to lower your personal risk of coronary disease.  Contact the American Heart Association for lots of FREE information and ideas!  Look 'em up in the phone book or Google 'em to find a number to call.

How often does this happen?  It's important to take chest pains very seriously, they could be signs of a heart attack or stroke.  Is it hard to breathe?  You should see a doctor ASAP, at least to rule out any heart issues.  I'm a nurse so please take my advice.\nYou'll be okay sweetie.

I would suggest going to your doctor to make sure that everything is okay.  You could have a more serious form of acid reflux or angina (chest pain) due to something else.  Not trying to scare you, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

You should see a doctor - this could be anything from panic attacks to heart problems!

First I would ask for an echocardiogram with & without saline (water bubbles); this will show any & hopefully all holes in your heart. I had it done & they found I was missing a chamber and had holes on the opposite side of my heart which required them to "cath" my heart. They make a small slice in the groin area & go through a main artery in your leg up to your heart. I'm only 5' & 100 lbs & they couldn't knock me out with morphine (I watched the entire procedure & ticked off my cardiologist -lol). My personal opinion would be 1. ask questions, make a list if you have to, 2. check out the surgeons & their history, & 3. if they are as good as they check out to be the procedure will be a cakewalk for you. I was 38 when they found all of this & now I'm 43 and alive to see my baby (23) get married this coming August to a wonderful young lady. My Dad had 2 triple arterial bypasses & he lost a leg in Korea and God bless him, he'll be 79 this July. Yes, I had a good role model but it is normal to get upset when a Dr mentions a prob w/the heart & that you have to face surgery. I now know how a lobster feels having its chest cracked but thorasic & cardiac surgery is so advanced that I can promise you that you'll be fine. Try to keep a positive attitude and have faith; they told me after 3 days that if I could walk up & down a flight of stairs 4 times, I could go home..........I bolted & got my boney butt outta that hospital & back into my own home in no time. My thoughts & prayers are with you (Navy brat here) but above all : keep the faith.\nBeth

Please have your heart checked out. I had the same symptoms and they told me in the ER it was indigestion. I had a heart attack.
