Symptoms of cardiovascular disease in women


Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the world. There are different types of heart diseases such as Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitral stenosis, Holt-Orams syndrome, heart attacks, coronary heart diseases, etc. The symptoms for each of these diseases vary. Also, vary the symptoms of cardiovascular disease in men and women. In the earlier days, the majority of studies and research carried out on men. But now that new studies and have carried out research for women, new results found. Typical symptoms of cardiovascular disease are pain in the left arm, heavy chest pressure along with sweating, dizziness and short breath. Studies, however, noted that mostly men have been known to complain of these symptoms. Women, on the other hand complaining of different kinds of symptoms. They experience fatigue, sleepnessness, indigestion, short breath, fear. Women usually have heart attacks later in life than men. Women are also less prone to heart attacks than men. This is mainly because women generally abstain from drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. Women are also more prone to silent heart attacks than men.

Some other symptoms experienced by women perhaps weakness, vomiting, pain between the shoulder blades. Surprisingly, there is noted that women are not chest pain on all experienced during a heart attack. Instead, they totally different symptoms. And all of these symptoms begin one month before the actual heart attack or heart problems that arise. It has been observed that women generally refrain from admitting that their cardiac problems is serious. Generally they refer to it as mild problems. While the men on the other hand, refer to their heart problems as very serious. This is not because the men are strengthening their disease, but because women try to emphasize their problems. Women do because they are the responsibility of the House on them, so they are trying too hard.

Even menopause has are related to cardiovascular diseases. In women, estrogen for menopause HDL cholesterol in the body. Estrogen also plays an effective role in relaxing the muscles, conservation, arterial blood pressure, etc. However, post menopause, the cardio-friendly effects of estrogen are gone, and women are more exposed to the risk of cardiovascular disease. So a woman in midlife increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The only solution to prevent these symptoms and beyond the cardiovascular diseases is to exercise daily, eat heart healthy meals, lose weight if you are obese, quit smoking and drinking.
