12. Pain in the Upper Part of the Back

Female heart attack patients also experience a symptom that men don’t report often. They describe it as a sharp, stabbing pain between the shoulder blades which starts slowly, gradually increases in intensity, and then reaches its most painful during the heart attack. Women reportedly feel that the pain comes directly behind their heart. Unfortunately, they conveniently blame it on fatigue, making them miss the warning thus, suffering a massive heart attack.
