Modern medicine increasingly focuses on the unique features of the female body when diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Telegram channel “Blog about health”.
The above-mentioned diseases remain one of the leading causes of death among women, but their symptoms are often perceived as not serious or go unnoticed. This situation is due to both insufficient patient awareness and the peculiarities of female physiology, which require more detailed study.
The classic symptom of a heart attack – chest pain – may be weak or absent in women. It is replaced by less obvious signs, such as:
Chronic fatigue
Women often complain of an unusual feeling of exhaustion that does not go away even after a good rest. This feeling is often mistakenly attributed to stress or overwork, not associated with possible heart problems.
Pain in unusual places
Unlike men, women may feel discomfort in the back, jaw or neck. These symptoms are difficult to associate with cardiovascular diseases, which significantly complicates their diagnosis.
Nausea and dizziness
Mild malaise, similar to signs of food poisoning or fatigue, can be an alarming signal of an impending heart attack.
Feeling of suffocation
Relaxed breathing or its acceleration is often perceived as an asthma attack or a consequence of nervous tension, although it can be a direct sign of heart failure.
Medical experts strongly recommend that women do not ignore these symptoms. Early detection of the disease increases the chances of recovery. Regular medical check-ups play a key role in preventing serious complications.
At the same time, doctors told how to strengthen the liver and improve its detox.
