Signs of Heart Attacks in Women

[HoneyBee]

Lately I've been feeling a few pains on the left side of my chest. They're not very profound or anything, but like I always do, I typed that symptom into the search bar and it suggested that I could be experiencing a heart attack. I doubt that I am, honestly, but while I was looking at the symptoms of a heart attack, I realized that heart attacks have some of the same general symptoms for men and women, and yet there are still other signs that go unnoticed by women in particular. So, today, I thought I would share with you all some of the signs of a heart attack that are prominent in women. You know, just so you'd be aware.

Typically women's symptoms are more diffuse than mens. Feeling under the weather and just sick is often reported to be the only symptoms the victims experienced in the hours leading up to the heart attack. Unfortunately this makes women's cardiac arrests etc far more difficult to discover and diagnose in an early stage than mens

Pains on the side of your chest could be alot of things. It's always worth having it looked at, anyways.

Could be "Angina" or other Lung problem.

Could be "Angina" or other Lung problem.

Angina is not a lung problem. It is pain from blockages in coronary arteries.

To the OP: yes - PLEASE get checked out by a cardiologist. As it has been said the symptoms of heart disease are not as clear in women so it frequently goes unnoticed and untreated.

"For generations, heart disease has been our number one killer, striking women of every age, color and culture," says Hudson in the commercial. "Heart disease claims one woman every minute, killing more women than men, and more women than all cancers combined. I don't know about you but I intend to stay alive. Fight the lady killer."​

This is a useful video that explains how blood flow to the heart can quickly improve by basically eating whole plant foods, and nothing but whole... plant... foods.

2:46 They started out with miserable cholesterol levels, and the diminished blood flow to their hearts to prove it (the dark blue areas represent so-called perfusion deficits; areas to the heart that aren't getting adequate blood flow).

After cholesterol lowering their cholesterol was still terrible but with the improvement, there was an improvement in blood flow. And their angina attacks were cut in half. And when they stopped and their cholesterol went back up, the blood flow to their heart muscle went back down.

So cholesterol lowering itself appears to improve blood flow to the heart, and they think it's because when cholesterol goes down endothelial function improves.

The problem is people don't want to even think about trying it because their tastebuds have been acclimated to overly salty, fatty, and sweet foods.
