CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women worldwide, yet its symptoms often go unnoticed or misdiagnosed. Unlike men, women may not experience the classic chest pain during a heart attack. Instead, early warning signs can include fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, cold sweats, or pain in the jaw, neck, or back. Recognizing these subtle symptoms is critical for early intervention and can save lives.
Women often attribute these signs to stress or lifestyle fatigue, delaying medical attention. Hormonal changes, especially after menopause, increase cardiovascular risk. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol also raise the risk significantly. Smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise further worsen the chances.
Regular check-ups, heart-healthy diets, stress management, and an active lifestyle are essential preventive measures. If you feel something is off, trust your instincts—early diagnosis makes treatment more effective. This article sheds light on what every woman should know to protect her heart and encourages awareness of gender-specific symptoms.
By staying informed and attentive, women can take control of their heart health and reduce the risk of serious conditions. Don’t ignore the signs—your heart is speaking. Listen to it.
