(HealthDay News) -- Women may not initially suspect that they're having a heart attack -- especially if they don't have the obvious chest pain.

The Womenshealth.gov website mentions these common symptoms of heart attack:

• An uncomfortable feeling or pain in the chest.
• Strange and uncomfortable sensations throughout the upper body.
• Shortness of breath.
• Breaking out in a cold sweat.
• Feeling unusually fatigued for no apparent reason.
• Sudden feelings of dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Feeling nauseated.
