Since heart disease is the number one cause of death among older women in the United States at Deaconess Hospital we believe early detection prior to a heart attack can mean the difference between full recovery and death. It is important to not ignore symptoms. If you notice chest discomfort located in the center of the chest that lasts for a few minutes or comes and goes that may feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain; discomfort in other areas of the upper body, such as one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach; shortness of breath that often comes with the chest pain but may occur before the chest pain; breaking out in a cold sweat; nausea or lightheadedness it is important to call for help.
