Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX , Welcome to HCM..

I've gone through your question and understand your concern..

But I must inform you that Symptoms of Heart Attack are not gender specific, the common non-specific and specific array of signs and symptoms are seen irrespective of person's gender..

Please feel free to share your concern, what all problems are bothering you so that I can guide you more specifically ..

Heart attack is a medical emergency , so if suspected so.. no time should be wasted in thinking what to do, and the best option is to ask for urgent medical attention, i.e. calling up 911 or rushing in to your nearest ER/ Urgent Care for a prompt diagnosis and management..

So please let me know..

Awaiting for your response..

Kind Regards

Brief Answer:
Please provide more details..

Detailed Answer:
Welcome Back Dear,
Thanks for following up..

Now by "experience described" - if you mean "Mostly healthy. Have a reflux problem and take a probiotic" , then I should tell you that it's too non-specific to comment as these sets of symptoms can be experienced in a wide array of ailments..

So please let me know what exactly are you experiencing ?

Any problem in breathing? Any dizziness?

Any heaviness over the chest or any kind of pain radiating from anywhere of the chest ?

Any excessive sweating ?

In case of any doubt I'd still advice you to simply go to your nearest ER / urgent Care for immediate diagnosis and management as this type of nonspecific symptoms can often complicate the real scenario, so it's always better to get diagnosed at the earliest.. As time is key here so better not to delay in case of any doubts..

To start with , at this age, you need to have a 12 Lead EKG to say the least, and rest everything depends upon the findings in your ECG and physical examination too..

Take Care
Kind Regards
