It’s not a matter of “not fair,” it’s a matter of recognizing possible symptoms of a heart attack and realizing they may vary.

Two comments. I read a story awhile back about a woman in her 30’s who was training for a triathalon - she was former military and in great shape. She was having pain in upper back and neck and some mild flu-like symptoms. Turned out she had a heart attack.

My aunt went to the hospital complaining of flu-like symptoms and exhaustion. When she got there, they said, “Lady you are having a heart attack!” She was in her 60’s though and smokes like a chimney.

The first case is far scarier.

I’ve had two heart attacks, one ending in a double bypass and the other with a stent. Both times I had severe shoulder pain and labored breathing. Not your typical male heart attack for sure.
