I just read the 7 heart attack symptoms in women compared to men. I have encountered chest pain at least 3 or 4 times in this past year. The last time was fairly recently but the pain was more intense in my right jaw, neck and ear. Each episode of pain will last about 20 minutes or so. I never went to the hospital or called my doctor because I thought for a heart attack, the pain would be more dominant in the chest and on the left side of the body. My question is, could have these have been mild heart attacks? I have to say the pain gets pretty intense and it does scare me. I would also like to know is there a test that shows if you have had past heart attacks? After reading the information on heart attacks in women, I definitely will go to the hospital if it ever happens again!
