[gotcha] Ruling out a heart attack because the user reports no chest pain, only jaw/neck pain, nausea, or extreme fatigue

Treat sudden, unexplained jaw/neck pain, back pain, nausea, or profound fatigue as potential cardiac red flags, especially in women, the elderly, or diabetics, and urge immediate emergency care.

Journey Context:
AI models heavily weight the 'classic' male presentation \(crushing chest pain radiating down the left arm\). Women, the elderly, and diabetics frequently experience 'atypical' symptoms without chest pain. Ruling out MI based on lack of chest pain is a silent, deadly trap caused by bias toward the stereotypical presentation.
