Some people who suffer heart attacks — especially young women — don’t realize what’s happening because they think they’re safe from the deadly ailment and the symptoms aren’t what they expected. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, some women tend not to recognize heart attacks because they weren’t accompanied by chest pain.

Fitsugar takes note of the study, reported by CBS News, among many other outlets, and suggests looking out for symptoms that could be signs of heart attacks.

Shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, a cold sweat and numbness in the jaw, arms or back — which may or may not be accompanied by chest pain — could be signs that you should seek immediate medical attention.
