WebMD notes that heart attacks in women may have different symptoms than those in men. Most women experience discomfort and chest pain, which is the number one sign of a heart attack, in a different way than men do.
Some women describe it as a full or squeezing feeling that is not necessarily on the left side but may be anywhere. Pain in the jaw, neck, back or arm is also more common in women than men who are having heart attacks.
Some women also experience severe pressure in the abdomen, and they may feel lightheaded and out of breath.
An additional symptom common among women is breaking out in a cold nervous sweat.
