Silent heart attacks can occur without the typical symptoms like pain, breathlessness, or nausea. Here are some insights based on the knowledge base:

- Small Vessel Disease: Women are more likely to develop blockages in small blood vessels, which might not show typical symptoms.
- Type 2 Diabetes: Women with type 2 diabetes are more prone to experiencing silent heart attacks.
- Variant Symptoms: Some women may experience intense fatigue, upset stomach, or back pain instead of the usual symptoms.

It's important to consult with a cardiologist experienced in treating women to recognize these patterns.

I had this with my second heart attack. I had 3 out of the 7 symptoms of my first heart attack and I found out that one of my arteries were blocked-resulted in an angioplasty and stent.
