[gotcha] Ruling out a heart attack in women if symptoms are atypical \(fatigue, nausea, back pain\) or lack classic chest pain

Recognize atypical heart attack symptoms in women \(shortness of breath, nausea, back/jaw pain\) as red flags requiring immediate emergency referral, even without chest pain.

Journey Context:
AI agents trained on classic textbook symptoms \(crushing chest pain radiating down the left arm\) will miss female-pattern myocardial infarctions. Women frequently present with vague, diffuse symptoms and are misdiagnosed with acid reflux or anxiety, leading to significantly higher mortality rates.
