Misdiagnosed Flu: Mom's Heart Attack Revelation

A mother who initially mistook her heart attack symptoms for the flu is sharing her story as a warning to other women. Jenna Tanner, who experienced fleeting chest pains, ignored seeking medical care until she passed out and realized she was having a massive heart attack. Heart attacks are the leading cause of death for women in the US, but symptoms can be different from the typical chest pain experienced by men. Women may experience shortness of breath, nausea, or back, shoulder, or jaw pain. It is important for women to pay attention to their bodies and seek medical attention if they experience unexplained chest pain or other concerning symptoms.
