6 Symptoms Of A Heart Attack That Occur Only In Women
Heart attacks are almost always the main reason for early death in the modern world and when a heart attack strikes, it can not always feel the same in women as it does in men

Here you have six signs every woman should know to keep the disease as far from herself as possible.
1. Pain in your arm(s), neck, back, or jaw
