| |  | | | Protect yourself by knowing the signs of a heart attack | | A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking cigarettes, or a family history of heart disease. | | The most common sign (in men and women) is chest pain, but this may feel different for everyone. Men often describe it as a heavy weight or an elephant sitting in the center of their chest, while women tend to experience more of a sense of chest pressure or tightness. | | Knowing the different signs could help protect your health and potentially save your life. This is especially true for women, who are more likely to die from a heart attack or receive delayed medical attention, potentially due to the fact that their symptoms show up differently than men. | | Below, check out many of the potential heart attack symptoms in women versus men. |  | | If you think you're having a heart attack, call 911 immediately. It's essential to seek help any time you experience pain or pressure in your chest or any of these combined symptoms that last more than a few minutes. | | | | | | | | | | Let it grow | | | | Sponsored by | | | | | | | |  | | Hims Minoxidil for Men | | Topical minoxidil is a popular hair loss treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
