mom in hospital

[jinian]

My mom had a minor heart attack yesterday afternoon/evening. She stuck it out at work for a while since random arm pain is just kind of confusing, but got her sister to take her to the hospital in the evening. She still needs a cardiac cath and they might install a stent, but it looks like the incident was minor and she shouldn't have lost too

Yes on the different symptoms in women's heart attacks. My mom's presented as neck and jaw pain.

Wow, I'm glad your mom is OK.

A cis man I know also had a heart attack that presented with "women's" symptoms. It's less common, but can happen.

Oh no. I'm so sorry that happened, but I'm very glad it was minor.

Love you very lots. Hugs and sympathy.

Argh. Graw. I hope she recovers well.

I'm so sorry, and so glad it wasn't worse.

I theoretically know the more common symptoms for heart attacks in women, but I would never have thought pain below the elbow would have anything to do with my heart.
