The Truth About Below Deck Med's Captain Sandy's Health Scare
As Dr. Leslie Cho told Cleveland Clinic, chest pain is the most common symptom of a heart attack but it's not the only heart attack symptom — especially when it comes to women. In fact, many women don't feel chest pain at all. Cho noted that, even in men, chest pain during a heart attack is "seldom as dramatic as you might think, and it can feel like pressure or heart burn that comes on over time."
Cho said that common heart attack symptoms in women can include fatigue, sweating, shortness of breath, and neck, jaw, or back pain. While men typically feel pain in their left arm, women can feel it in either arm.
