A friend of mine, in her early 40s, had been having oddshoulder pains and general achiness for several months. She had gone todoctors, had x-rays and other tests done but nothing could be found about whyher shoulder hurt constantly.
Then she started having pains in her chest. This time whenshe went to the doctor, he immediately sent her to the emergency room becauseshe had super high blood pressure.
They immediately did Angioplasty surgery and put a stintinto one of the arteries in her heart. Her artery had been 90 % blocked.
What they didn’t tell her for another week was why they hadher on blood thinners and bed rest. The reason was that while they were inthere, they saw that her other artery was also 90% blocked. They couldn’t put astint in the other one at the same time without putting her at risk during theprocedure itself.
So a week later, after she had recovered from the firstprocedure, they told her she needed another one. After the second stint was putinto the second clogged artery…
she noticed that her chronic shoulder pain haddisappeared.
Her unexplained chronic shoulder pain had been a sign ofheart disease but no one made the connection. None of the doctors she had beenseeing even thought of heart disease as a possibility.
Her main arteries had gotten to 90% clogged before anyonethought she had a problem.
I did some research. I found information put out by the
U.S.Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women’s Health.
This information said that…
Heart disease symptoms in women are very different from men.Often the symptoms in women are overlooked or misdiagnosed.
This was definitely true in my friend’s case.
After seeing what my friend went through, I wanted to share this information I found so other women could be aware of how different heartdisease and heart attack symptoms are for women.
I’ve recorded an audio CD that explains what some of therisk factors are for heart disease, heart attack and Coronary Artery Diseasebased on the information found from the U.S. Department of Health and HumanServices, Office on Women’s Health.
This audio also explains how some of these risk factors canbe reduced.
If you think that a heart attack is something you don’t needto think about for another 20 or 30 years, let my friend’s story be a wake upcall. She’s not even 45 yet!
Find out now how you can reduce some of your risk of heartproblems. You don’t want an emergency trip to the hospital to be your wake upcall on this.
Do yourself a favor, get this audio CD.
And get a copy for a friend you can’t bear to live without.
