WOMEN'S HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS INFO

WOMEN’S HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS

In this section, I want to shed some light on women’s heart attack symptoms. My mother has a murmur in her heart, so I have personal experience within our immediate family in dealing with heart abnormalities. It is of utmost importance that we are all properly educated on heart disease. Located within this website I deal more in depth on heart problems ( Coronary Heart Disease ). If you or someone close to you is possibly at risk then pay close attention to this section.

Do Women’s Heart Attack Symptoms Appear Weeks Before The Actual Attack?

Research indicates that women often experience new or different physical symptoms 4 to 8 weeks prior to heart attacks. Among a group of 516 women studied, almost 94% said they knew their symptoms were new or even different 4 or more weeks before the onset of their heart attacks. The most common symptoms reported were unusual fatigue (70%), sleep disturbance (47%), shortness of breath (42%).

Are Chest Pains A Good Indicator Of Women Having A Heart Attack?

Close to 30% of women reported never having felt any heart pains prior to their heart attacks. Next, around 43% of women reported having no chest pain during any phase of the heart attack. Most doctors concede that between men and women the most prevalent symptom is chest pain. The pain in most cases is caused by a blockage in some area of a blood vessel. There are a few substances that can possibly break up these deposits within the blood vessels. Find out more here..
