O'Donnell said not understanding the difference between how men's and women's heart attacks look nearly cost her her life.
and wife Miranda Pearman-Maday, O’Donnell explained how she initially brushed off her pain and why people should be aware of how heart attack symptoms differ between men and women.The comedian told the podcasters she didn’t think there was anything out of the ordinary when her arm began to hurt after helping a stranger into their car while visiting a friend at the hospital years ago.
“The truth of the matter is I had this heart attack on a Monday at 10 a.m.,” she admitted. “I get home, I can hardly walk upstairs. I take two baby aspirin, I go to sleep, I wake up and my family goes, ‘You have to go to the doctor.’ I waited until the next day. So I had it Monday and on Wednesday I saw a doctor.”
“I was like, ‘Wait, wait, what?!’ I couldn’t believe it,” O’Donnell said. “And then I came to find out that the symptoms for a woman having a heart attack are very different than the symptoms for men having heart attacks. Yet what we see on TV are always men having heart attacks.”
