Living Well
In the past, women’s cardiovascular symptoms were often under-recognized, leading many to be misdiagnosed or treated too late. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women—claiming more lives each year than all cancers combined—yet signs often appear differently than they do in men.
A woman having a heart attack might feel fatigue, nausea, or pain in her back or jaw rather than the “classic” chest pressure. These subtle differences can delay diagnosis, but recognizing them can help you get the right treatment sooner.
Knowing your body and speaking up when something feels off can help you stay ahead of heart and vascular problems.
