Heart attack in women

Heart is very sensitive topic to me. And I want to be sure that not any more good heart will be wasted.



Women are experiencing different kind of symptoms of heart attacks. Most of the time they missed the signs and either they die or they live without even noticing that they had a heart attack. Which can be critical in later general diseases. Please take care of your heart. You have for sure someone who loves you and who needs you!!

Chest pain is the most common symptom of heart attack but not always present in case of women. Pain in arm or neck or back is more common symptom for women than in men. Typically it is sudden pain or not typical. That is the problem that women typical do not report such pain. People sometimes mistake the stomach pain by bigger problem such as heartburn which could be a sign of heart attack. Another sign could be a problem with breathing, short breath or nausea or sensitivity to light. Many women are experiencing extreme fatigue for no reason.

Anyway if you experience any sudden symptom mentioned above please contact a doctor. I have no idea why, but women typically wait to contact a doctor and many times it is too long for help. It is always better to see a doctor than to die :-(.  

Please take care of yourself!!

Have a nice a weekend!!!
