Intense chest pain, radiating to back, numbness in arm, EKG and blood chemistry negative.

or something else.
these past few days i have been feeling very strange, i have been having what i call a “bullet head ache” because one side of my head the very front left side aches but no where else except directly in the same spot but in the back of my head, so its kinda like a gun shot.
then comes the dizzy spells, one got so bad i actually had to lay down with my eyes shut.
sometimes there will be intense nausea, followed by no vomiting, but the nausea is enough torture as it is.
i also been having sharp pains in my stomach, around where my liver is, and my uterus.
i checked web md for female heart attack symptoms, and i have some but not all.
so can anyone help me please? tell me if this is normal, or should i see a doctor?

Symptoms of Heart Attack in Women

Heart disease remains the #1 killer of women in the United States. Unfortunately, heart disease often goes unrecognized and untreated until the woman has a disabling or fatal heart attack. Women often have different symptoms than men do, and not all physicians know what to look for. Not all women know what to look for.

Prodromal Symptoms

Most women who have heart attacks experience ‘prodromal’ symptoms for a month or more before the incident. Prodromal symptoms predict the onset of a disease. If we recognize prodromal symptoms, sometimes we can prevent the heart attack that is about to happen.

Men are not as likely to have prodromal symptoms as women; 95% of women in a recent National Institutes of Health study had one or more of the following symptoms for a month or more before their heart attacks:

Severe fatigue

Severe sleep disturbances

Shortness of breath

Indigestion

Anxiety

Chest Discomfort

Only a third to a half of all women have chest discomfort when they have a heart attack. Those who do experience discomfort don’t usually describe it as pain, either. Women are more likely to say they have aching, pressure or tightness in their chests than they are to use the word, ‘pain.’

Heart Attack Symptoms

Women who are having a heart attack are more likely to experience one or more of the following symptoms than they are to have chest discomfort:

Sudden, severe shortness of breath

Sudden weakness

Sudden, severe fatigue

Breaking out in a cold sweat

Sudden dizziness.

Women do have different heart attack symptoms than men do, but heart disease is just as disabling and just as fatal to women as it is to men. Recognizing the symptoms women are most likely to experience with a heart attack could save your life.
