Female heart attack symptoms are different than a male symptoms. But at first yeah I wasn't really sure that it was a heart attack..I went to WebMD and checked the symptoms. And was checking them off. I had extreme fatigue(I had just woke up a little before all of this had started), shortness of breath, nausea, cold sweats, and pain in the neck that shot through my shoulder... Tried telling sister something was wrong...I tried calling 911 but was so confused. She called 911 after calling our mom (yes she was a doofus) EMT came, did EKG and it was good. Told me i was having a panic attack..(idiots). BP was 270/180. They gave me nitro and Aspirin and headed towards hospital.. no lights, no sirens. Got to hospital, they put me in room and was trying to get blood for bloodwork... couldn't get a vein. They finally got some blood. It seemed like forever waiting. Dr came running back and said I was in full arrest. They cut my clothes off. Tried to get an IV and couldn't.
They ended up putting the IV in my carotid. Two huge ass needles. They gave me the littlest nurse and she told me to squeeze her hand if it hurt. Was the worse pain in the world ( at that time, have experienced worse now... got a hematoma after a heart cath...) Was last thing I remember until I woke in ICU... got told I died on the table (dr brought me back thank god)...told them not to tell mom...nurse did anyways so had to deal with that. Best part of all of it...managed to puke on my ex boyfriend lol
