Bisnis.com, Jakarta – Heart disease is the number one cause of death among women, one out of every three women dies of a heart attack.
Many women think that the typical signs of a heart attack such as chest pain that feels like a throbbing or even shortness of breath can be easily recognized. However, there are a number of other signs and symptoms to watch out for.
Quote from Medicinenet, Tuesday (12/14/2021) the following are signs and symptoms of heart disease that are common in women
1. Chest pain
Chest pain is often described as a feeling of pressure or fullness in the chest, causing a very uncomfortable sensation.
2. Pain in the arms, back, neck, or jaw
Pain that can occur in the area will be experienced suddenly so that it can wake you from sleep.
3. Stomach ache
Pain in the stomach when having a heart attack can make women feel like they have an ulcer, so they are misguided when distinguishing signs of heart disease from ulcers.
However, some women can feel abdominal pressure so severe that it feels like an elephant is sitting on their stomach because of the great pressure that is felt when heart disease spreads to the abdominal area.
4. Shortness of breath
Women may experience sudden shortness of breath even though they haven’t done anything before, a feeling of shortness of breath that they experience as if they’ve run a marathon.
5. Sweating
If you sweat suddenly for no apparent reason and are not doing any activity. You should be suspicious and immediately visit a doctor to find out more about the cause of the sweat and make sure it is not the cause of heart disease.
