Being hypertensive myself, I ensure that I am aware and knowledgeable of the different signs and symptoms of heart attack. Not that I’m expecting it, but I know that I’m at a high risk because of this pre-existing condition. Further, a lot of women often have symptoms that are atypical.
My doctor has educated me enough to watch out for signs and I’m very thankful of his gesture. Thus, I’m sharing here the different signs when it’s time to seek help immediately:
- If you feel excessive sudden fatigue
- There’s pain and pressure in the neck, the arms and upper back
- There’s cold sweats
- You experience shortness of breath
- There’s chest pain, pressure and you feel full
- You feel fullness as well as pressure in your upper abdomen
- You feel something is painful, numb and there’s pressure in the jaw
- You feel lightheaded and nauseous
For your own peace of mind, please see a doctor.
Life is fragile. Handle it with care.
I nearly lost my Dad to heart disease. He collapsed while serving in church. I hope that you take extra care. Keep well, sis.
