I have heard that women have different symptoms than men when they have heart attacks. Is this true. If it is, what are the symptoms they experience? I have been trying to get my Mother to see the doctor because she keeps having nausea time and again. When she has this nausea, she also starts sweating profusely. Could this be heart pain symptoms?

Women do have different symptoms of heart attack than men and abdominal pain can be one of them. It is important to be aware though that some people women and men may not have the sharp stabbing pain in the chest or arm that often preceeds a heart attack. Shortness of breath and sweating can also be symptoms of a heart attack as well as pressure on the chest or abdomen like as if an elephant is

Certain traits, conditions, or habits may raise your risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). These conditions are known as risk factors. Risk factors also increase the chance that existing CHD will worsen.
Women have the same CHD risk factors as men. However, some risk factors may affect CHD risk differently in women than in men. For example, diabetes raises the risk of CHD more in women.

That's really scary that "more than three-quarters of women aged 40 to 60 have one or more risk factors for CHD." I wonder, is there anything you can do to reverse the effects of a risk factor? For example, if a smoker quits or if someone with a poor diet starts watching what they eat, will the risk eventually go away?

Women should learn the heart attack warning signs. These are:
- Pain or discomfort in the center of the chest.
- Pain or discomfort in other areas of the upper body, including the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
- Other symptoms, such as a shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness.
