Symptoms of coronary heart disease in women

Coronary heart disease has occurred frequently in recent years. In fact, its occurrence is closely related to the patient's living habits. The symptoms of coronary heart disease in women are generally more obvious, such as extreme fatigue, sweating, difficulty breathing, etc. These symptoms will have a significant impact on the patient's life, so it is necessary to seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

Early symptoms of coronary heart disease in women

Extreme fatigue: In the days and weeks before a heart attack, more than 70% of women experience severe weakness and flu-like fatigue. You may suddenly feel so weak that even picking up your laptop may be difficult.

Profuse sweating: Sudden onset of sweating for no apparent reason, resulting in a drenching body or a pale or gray complexion.

Nausea or dizziness: Before a heart attack, women often experience indigestion or even vomiting, and although they may feel they can hold on, this sign should not be ignored.

Difficulty breathing: Almost 58% of women experienced breathlessness or were unable to hold a conversation.

Mild pain: Women may not feel chest tightness, but may feel mild pain in the chest, which is not always in the heart area. The pressure or pain may occur in the breastbone, upper back, shoulders, neck, or roof of the mouth.

Anxiety: Many women experience a sense of doom or fear before a heart attack.

Insomnia: Nearly half of women experience difficulty falling asleep or waking up easily in the middle of the night in the weeks before coronary artery disease.

How can women prevent coronary heart disease?

Psychological balance. As long as you pay attention to mental balance, you will have the golden key to health. In cases of extreme anger, the coronary arteries may become 100% blocked, and even death may occur on the spot.

Get moderate exercise. Exercise is a very important element of health. The amount of physical activity should be determined based on the original physical condition, physical activity habits and heart function status, with the principle of not increasing the burden on the heart too much and not causing discomfort. Physical activities should be started gradually, and it is not advisable to force yourself to do strenuous activities. Walking is recommended for the elderly, and they should exercise until they sweat slightly.

Eat a balanced diet. In China, women's unreasonable eating habits will cause their cholesterol and blood lipids to rise over time. People who have been diagnosed with coronary atherosclerosis are strictly prohibited from overeating to avoid inducing angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. People with hypertension or heart failure should also limit their salt intake.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Women generally do better in this regard. But you must be careful not to smoke passively, and also pay attention to the smoke when cooking in the kitchen. Smoking is harmful and has no benefits. The effect of alcohol on cardiovascular system is a "U" shaped curve. It has a preventive effect in small amounts, but becomes harmful in large amounts. Therefore, it is very important not to drink strong liquor, control the amount of drinking, and know when to stop.

The incidence of coronary heart disease in women is much higher than that in men. On the one hand, women have more work and life things to do and are under great pressure, so they often ignore minor physical discomforts, which turn into big problems. On the other hand, women exercise less and have an unreasonable diet, which leads to high cholesterol and severe blood viscosity. I hope that female friends will cherish their bodies, eat properly, exercise appropriately, and maintain healthy sleep.
