Ok ladies, please read this! Today I was given a stark reminder of the importance of taking care of our hearts. I feel the need to remind every woman I know that most women do NOT have the same heart disease symptoms as men and most women also do not go to the doctor for their symptoms until after an actual cardiac event happens, which is sometimes too late. Please remind yourself of the symptoms and risk factors and do not ignore any new sensations no matter how small. Someone very close to me was only feeling a little pressure in her chest when lying on her back, she said it was as if someone had placed something on her chest, and that was her only symptom. She didnt even have shortness of breath with her workouts. Thankfully she went to the doctor and they found she had an 85% blockage in one of her main coronary arteries. Hard to imagine that level of blockage caused no major symptoms! A stent was placed and she should be just fine but she is really lucky she went to get it checked out!! Be informed, take good care of yourselves and listen to your bodies...
