Anyone who's ever had a Heart Attack knows that after talking to others that not everyone has the same symptoms and signs of an impending Heart
Attack. 
Some people, especially women seem to have either no symptoms, or what is called a 'Silent Heart Attack', which is what I had. Other women have very different symptoms, such as reflux, or even an asthma type symptom.
Don't ever ignore these things, as the earlier you are seen by medical professionals you may be preventing a heart attack or severe damage to your heart!! Teri
