Ok...not to scare anyone...just answering Libby's question. The scary thing about a female heart attack is that there are really no set symptoms. Female's tend to have atypical heart attacks. Classic symptoms are left sided chest pain. Radiating pain in your left arm, tingling or numbness in your left arm, shortness of breath. More uncommon signs are pain or pressure in your jaw,neck or back, nausea, vomiting, feeling dizzy, weak or lightheaded, pain, pressure or tingling in your right arm or shoulder. That being said, indigestion can feel a lot like a heart attack. If you've never had indigestion before, there's really no way to tell the difference, and it's always best to be checked out if you're not sure.
