Women may suffer from classic heart symptoms but often do not

Sister Dorothy sent an email yesterday and shared the bad news that her good friend and neighbor lady fell injuring herself.  A trip to the hospital found bruises but no broken bones.  The doctors believe this lady had a slight heart attack.  She has no history of heart attack and did not display the classic symptoms of a heart attack.  No ‘elephant sitting on my chest.’ This lady, like many other females, found herself dealing with the subtle symptoms and did not recognize what was happening to her. 

Saturday morning-- We've had sad news from Arizona--the neighbor lady who suffered a heart attack died last night.  Those who knew and loved her are grieving today.  She was special and will be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers go to family and friends who mourn the loss of this special lady. 

Tomorrow I answer the question, What is a heart attack?
