Women may not have chest pain with myocardial infarction,but may feel discomfort or indigestion.They often present with a triad of symptoms-indigestion or feeling of abdominal fullness,feeling of chronic fatigue despite adequate rest,and feeling unable to catch their breath.Frequently,women are not diagnosed and therefore are not treated adequately.Hypertension and abdominal pain are not associated with acute coronary syndrome.
