8. Nausea, Vomiting, and Indigestion
We rarely associate abdominal pain with MI. However, bloating, nausea, vomiting and severe indigestion can all be signs of a cardiovascular problem. If there is any damage to the lower wall of the heart muscle, that’s located close to the diaphragm, it will show in abdominal symptoms.
How tell it from food poisoning, heartburn, or inflammation in the digestive system? If the symptoms start without any obvious causes and are accompanied by pain in the upper abdomen or chest, it’s likely to be a heart attack. Especially in women – statistics show that most women do not have any chest pain, but instead experience abdominal symptoms.
