    Exclamation Women having a heart attack may not show the 'classic' symptoms

    Just seen this on my fb and thought it worth sharing.

    Important read for women and men- women may show different symptoms to men when having a heart attack. Be mindful!

    I don't know how reputable this site is, so if anyone knows whether it's a good source or not do let us know.

    Thanks for sharing but for any other hypochondriacs out there.. don't fear. After reading a similar article a few years ago I went to hospital convinced I was having a heart attack when it was only anxiety. If you are young and fit you are probably not having a heart attack! but my good friend who has a lot of medicine knowledge and who is my go to for all my hypochondrism issues tells me a simple test is if you are having a heart attack you will not find comfort in any position. Whereas with other ailments you might be able to relieve whatever the discomfort is by changing body position.
