HEART DISEASE & WOMEN
Women Present, Test Differently than Male Patients.
#ChestPain & #HeartAttacks
women seeking treatment for chest pain, are more likely to down play symptoms. Providers may underestimate risks. We have been compared to men & male populated studies. #ANOCA

So IMPORTANT! Relating your obstetric medical history to doctors IS huge to other matters and what might fuel them.
After my heart attack, every CCU doctor & nurse asked about my cardiac risk factors:
Did I have a family history?
Did I smoke?
Did I have diabetes?
But nobody asked about my pregnancy complications!

Arms raised and especially washing hair can be a huge trigger to symptoms in #NOCAD! #MicroIsHuge
Why taking a shower is so exhausting for heart attack survivors:
"Taking a shower left me feeling surprisingly weak, shaky and gasping for breath..."

Someone clearly wants me to stay right here and relax! #selfcarematters #therapydog #HeartHealth #lowerbp #puppypower ❣️
Microvasculature is vital!! I often think inflammation is what I address most to aid them. We must do more research! It feeds everything beyond the heart also! Its health is important!

The integrity & health of your heart muscle depends on these networks of our tiniest vessels feeding it. They are not easy to see or check on typical testing.

No one wants to have a heart health issue. If you do have symptoms, don’t ignore them. If a medical professional is not listening, seek a second opinion!
Our site is full of information, support, research and doctors in the field.

"VSA management should be based on a patient-centred approach and a multidisciplinary approach may be required. Holistic, patient-centred care should be considered to enable patients with VSA to be able to self-manage their VSA as much as possible."
