I came across some scary research the other day. Almost half of women who have heart attacks never experience chest pain. The most common symptoms are fatigue, nausea, back or neck pain, and dizziness. Also, many women surveyed reported experiencing mild symptoms--especially fatigue--for up to thirty days before the actual heart attack took place.

Add all that together with the fact that women are more likely than men to die within a year after a heart attack, and you have a pretty scary picture. Really makes you think twice about days when you just feel "off."
