My wife felt chest-pain. I could not believe that women could suffer from heart problems. Since the pain started shooting up, I had to rush her to Casualty. The blood pressure had shot up but ECG was reported normal.
After five days again, I had to rush my wife to the hospital with the same problem but this time also nothing serious was reported.
After another three days when this problem repeated, there was slight problem with the ECG report. I had to shift her from Casualty to Heart Care Hospital. Her angiography was advised. It was soon performed. The report of angiography was normal.
The Heart specialist informed us the reason for this problem which we understood as ‘Blockages in micro arteries which happens among the ladies, usually after menopause’
We consider heart disease as a man’s disease but statistically more women die of heart disease than men.
Major reason for this fact could be based on the followings:
• Overweight
• Low HDL
• High triglycerides
• Diabetes
• Surgical procedure complications, if hospitalized.
Cardiologists unintentionally misdiagnose, under diagnose or under-treat women with heart disease. It results into women having higher incidence of congestive heart failure and greater emotional side effects and impairment after bypass surgery.
Women should take extra care with regard to their heart disease. Health is our most prized possession. Life style improvement, breathing exercise, low fat and freshly cooked food can help anybody to enjoy a healthy living with stronger heart.
