Common symptoms of MI in women include epigastric pain or nausea, which is blamed on heartburn, shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness of the shoulders and upper arms. "Silent" or unrecognized heart attack occurs more frequently in women than men. Weakness of the legs and back does not precede a heart attack. The mortality rate of young women having an MI is twice that of men.
