A close friend kept saying you should check my heart someday and midnight she landed up at ER with a heart attack. Could quickly perform an emergency angioplasty and re establish blood flow. We had a hearty laugh after it though it was a deeply emotional moment. #PropheticWords 
She had messaged around evening saying she has neck pain. I advised some medication and told to see me tomorrow. Later after 2 hours she said she is not able to walk and is getting uneasiness in throat and jaw and said she'll come to hospital. ECG and echo confirmed heart attack
Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms compared to men. Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, such as: Neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back or upper belly (abdomen) discomfort. Shortness of breath. Pain in one or both arms.
It is very important to keep this in mind when women present to ER with any of the above symptoms. One should be doubly careful before discharging the patient. Serial ECGs, Troponins and echo are crucial in making a correct diagnosis. #MedTwitter
