It’s important to understand that men and women may experience different symptoms. Men often (but not always) experience what are known as “classic” signs of a heart attack:

Discomfort in the center of the chest that feels like pressure, squeezing or fullness that goes away, yet returns chest discomfort along with fainting, lightheadedness, shortness of breath or nausea pain that spreads to the neck, shoulders or arms

In addition to a milder form of the “classic” symptoms, women may also experience: Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing

Palmdale Regional is designated as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission and the AHA/ American Stroke Association® (ASA). We also earned the AHA/ ASA 2020 Get With The Guidelines® Stroke Gold Plus® Quality Award with Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll.
