“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

quote by Dr. Seuss

Too often, women ignore the idea or probability that they may be susceptible to heart disease or a heart attack. At least 60% of women, ages 21-39, have at least one risk factor and that is a frightening number. What female in her twenties considers themselves at risk? I would imagine that not very many young women even think about this as being a problem. Yet this goes to show that women of all ages need to consider their chances of a heart attack. Signs or tell-tale symptoms are ignored and risk factors are not considered. No woman should nix her potentiality for heart disease. With 315,000 women (that’s 1 in 4) dying of heart related issues in 2006, it’s time to take notice of where you stand. Women have just as much a chance as men to suffer a heart attack. In fact, they have a better chance of suffering a second attack due to not acknowledging the first one.

I recently read an article that said “many people assume that if you’re in good shape, you aren’t at risk for heart disease.” (continue reading) Regardless of gender, certain risk factors for heart disease are out of our control. Things like age, gender, race, ethnicity, and family history are aspects in life that we just have to live with. But there are five things you can control to reduce your chance of a heart attack: smoking habits, cholesterol, high blood pressure, weight problems, and daily exercise.

Take control of your life in the ways you can. Even if you take steps to manage the five controllable factors, it’s important to still know and understand the symptoms of a heart attack. Women tend to feel sharp pain in their neck, jaw, shoulder, or abdomen. They may also experience nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, or excessive sweating. These symptoms are much less noticeable than the drama enhanced crushing chest pain you see in the movies. Women tend to experience blockage in smaller arteries that cycle blood through the heart, hence the subtlety of the heart attack signs.
