What are the early signs of a heart attack?

Early signs of a heart attack in women?

• ok i just Curious right now. but i have been having a sharp stabbing pain in the left side of my chest it comes and goes. also mild upper back and shoulder pain on the left side, and lately mild nausea with mild dizziness no shortness of breath tho. i cannot spell the medical term my doctor used, but three years ago i was diagnosed with a leaky heart valve and the other one pumps a little harder to make up for it. dr said i was not in danger of having a heart attack no time soon. i have been to the er. ekg came back fine. i still think they r early warning signs of a heart attack. could i be right. i am 43 years old non smoker a diabetic but other wise healthy.please no smart answers
