The rate of heart attack-stricken women is greater than men. The problem is that, although the symptoms are fairly clear, tend not to them paying attention
We have to keep this in mind: the symptoms of a heart attack in women, are often different from men's. That increasingly is raising the rate of female mortality in heart attacks. In general are usually camouflaged with fatigue, pain that we don't recognize... is worthwhile then delve a little on the subject for our sake.
Symptoms of heart disease in women
We must leave aside that classic image of a man holding the arm or touching the breast before suffering a heart attack, or suffering an angina pectoris. New research published in in the "British Columbia" medical journal, tell us is affected with a heart rate of 19% in women, compared to 13.7% in men. In other words, something is happening.
And that something is that often, the women have symptoms that don't pay too much attention or that they do not take seriously. Sometimes they worry more about relatives rather than attend themselves. You must be careful, hence you is essential to know the following points of notice.
1. pressure in chest
Sometimes you can feel a burning in the chest, pressure that makes us tired. Can you confuse it with anxiety, you say to yourself that you are nervous about the obligations of every day. But if you feel that you have this feeling every day, goes to the doctor to make you a check. In men it is usual for example that this pressure in the chest and then pass to the arm in the form of strange tingling, but women usually starts a focal chest mode, and generally responds to a angina.2. pain in the upper part of the body, neck, back and jaw
This symptom can be located as pain in both arms, back, shoulders, neck, jaw, or the upper part of the stomach (not below the navel). Complicated huh? that is why this type of inconvenience often associate them pain in bones, osteoporosis, for example, so common in us. I.e., not we pay too much attention because we think it is fatigue or a simple headache of bones that reduce with an anti-inflammatory.
But you have never overlooked. Because the jaw, neck or back pain is a symptom of heart attack more common in women than in men.
3. unusual fatigue and breathlessness
A fact to keep in mind is that it is usual that men already feel small notices when they are performing a physical activity. They are working and suddenly freezes them the arm, or they cannot breathe. However, when lie, these symptoms disappear. But in women is different, attacks on them tend to occur when they are for example sitting or even sleeping. I.e., infarction itself can get more rest than activity. But there are signs that attentive, don't forget it... a very excessive fatigue , out of the ordinary, the upper part of the chest pains... Look first of all when you climb stairs, if you perceive that you feel a feeling of breathlessness, accompanied by that classic chest tightness that you have commented, do not hesitate costs enough, goes to the doctor immediately.
Another aspect that you should remember: men for example often suffer fainting that already warn us that there is a heart problem. We, on the other hand, have small stuns which do not have why to reach the loss of knowledge. It is common to not take them seriously. It's an oversight that we must not forget, any evidence should be taken into account.
4 feel scrambled stomach
Discomfort, heaviness in the stomach. What we eat feel us wrong and we are suffering from a kind of acidity that often ends in vomiting. It is very easy to confuse these symptoms with any other disease, with any other everyday annoyance as gastric reflux... but do not have overlooked. Especially if this upset stomach is always accompanied by a very characteristic cold sweat. Suddenly you feel tired, with tremors, pain in stomach and a very acute distress.
Finally just to tell you that most heart attacks and angina chest, usually give us clues, tracks and discomfort that already warn it us. The biggest problem for women is that they tend to relate these dimensions with other things, with the tiredness everyday, with back pain have every day, with those nerves or stress that is gripping in the stomach or chest... keep that in mind. If you see that this fatigue is more exaggerated, if trouble breathing or feel anguish, go to your doctor to make you a review. Not you turn all your efforts in taking care of others, you also listen to yourself. In time, take the feints of heart attack can save lives. Don't forget it!
