Heart attacks have many symptoms. Most people know they can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, and heart palpitation. Shoulder pain can also be a symptom of a heart attack, and it is often overlooked or misunderstood.
Pain from a heart attack may start in the chest and spread out to one or both shoulders. While this can happen to anyone, women are more likely to experience shoulder pain during a heart attack.
