- Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach
- Shortness of breath. Most occur with or without chest discomfort
- Other signs: these may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness
With women these additional signs include extreme fatigue, back pain, upper abdominal pain, persistent heartburn, and nausea. Several predisposing factors include smoking, obesity, and females over 40 years of age, hypertension, hyper-cholesterol, and family history of cardiac disease.
