Symptoms of Heart Attack in Women

My Post on www.newsyaps.com

Just a little over a year ago, a friend of mine collapsed in her office and passed away within an hour. She was just back from a team lunch and there was nothing to suggest that she was unwell. Notwithstanding that her sudden death came as a shock considering she was just in her early twenties, what was surprising also was that the cause was heart attack.

Yes, women are very much susceptible to heart attacks. Some statistics say that between the ages of 40 to 60 women die as much of heart diseases as of breast cancer. If we consider the period of an entire lifetime, the number of deaths caused by heart disease is five times more as compared to those caused by breast cancer. The lifestyle today has brought down the age of those affected significantly and hence it is imperative to know and recognize the symptoms of heart diseases.

  1. Thank you for the information. It's difficult to imagine a young woman falling prey to heart disease as we often link heart problems with older people, especially men. But as the stress levels go in these times, anyone can be a victim. But we often ignore the symptoms of serious diseases thinking ourselves to be too young for them.
