who has more heart attacks men or women

s health issue, but according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, nearly half of the people who die from heart attacks are women. Heart attack symptoms in women usually differ from men's, even though men's symptoms (like chest pain) are often touted as the most common sign of a heart attack.

I'm not a doctor, but I understand people can be having a heart attack and still have a normal or near normal blood pressure. Heart attacks in women don't always include the same/typical symptoms as they do in men. Also, it's fairly common in women that symptoms of a heart attack come and go--so just because the clear up doesn't mean you're not having a heart attack. Better safe than sorry, right? I would seek medical attention immediately. First, take a 325 mg.

Hello everyone, As I read the comments of yet another one of us being sent away, being told that everything is ok when you know darn well its not, I am reminded of all my heart sisters and a question comes to mind. So many women with heart symptoms are told it's in their head, and it often takes a catastrophic event (like a heart attack or even death!) to get the docs to listen and believe that something is wrong. Men with chest pains get looked at entirely different than women.

t think I was a risk for cardiovascular ailments at my age but I just read that men aged 35-40 are increasingly at risk for TIAs and heart attacks.

Great question to post on an anxiety forum. Who has anxiety. Don't think the forum would exist if none of us had anxiety.

Yes, the Bible says that about lust and married people. But that wasn't the answer that I think you were looking for. My answer is that it all depends. Men are horny all the time. Whatever gets them off during masturbation is what gets them off. They may be thinking about you, or sex in general, or just looking at an image of T and A, doesn't matter who's they are, or whatever fantasy that turns them on and they are in business. So it all depends.

t effect men more than women. By this I mean that women are more confortable talking about feelings and emotions and probably feel a little safer than men to speak of sexual abuse. Since women tend to speak about their feeling more freely they probably seek professional help more often or work things out quicker by talking to someone they trust.

I have had Almost every heart test done and nothing has been found wrong with my heart. My docs have said anxiety from the beginning. It has taken me about 5 months to control my anxiety. The only problem is i am still in pain ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!!!! The only time i am completely pain free is when i sleep. Go see another doc. You cannot put a price on your health. Go and look at the anxiety community here and read some other posts. It may help.

Actually, just this moment is the first I've read your post. I have a feeling it didn't get a word of appreciation because other posts pushed it off the page and it didn't get read. It's a hard subject. I think men get much misaligned - and yet on this particular thing, I think the kind of caregiving and nurturing that seems to go with someone being ill doesn't come as naturally to a man as it does to a woman. Doing the hunting and gathering thing, men excel to be sure.

It is a known fact that women are not taken seriously when it comes to a doctor evaluating them for heart disease; men, they tend to go gungho on. One of the main reasons for the lack of concern is because before menopause sets in, the hormones in a woman's body protects her from having any significant heart disease; it's there to protect her through her childbearing years. After menopause, a women has a higher chance of dying from heart disease then a man.

I think this is why so many Doctors dismissed heart problems in women with typical symptoms and some still do. However, it has been realised that since women have taken the roles they have in the work place, heart disease is definitely on the increase for them. It seems the more stressful the job, the worse their condition becomes. Hardly surprising when you think how many look after the children, get them off to school, go to work then get home to feed them etc.

In coronary MVD, plaque can scatter, spread out evenly, or build up into blockages in the tiny coronary arteries. Spasms (vessel tighting) of the small coronary arteries also can prevent enough oxygen-rich blood from moving through the arteries. This too can cause ischemic heart disease. Symptoms would be angina or no pain with exertion.

I read a few of accounts from women who were assaulted. Then, men who were robbed. Why were 1,000 people there?! Is it like NY on New Years Eve?

The problem with this theory is that, saying "Yes Dear" is the same as a teenager saying, "Whatever." It's a dismissive way of shutting someone up, which is not compromise, it's more a self-serving response which means nothing at all. Compromise means that the person who offers the compromise is genuinely offering something that the other person wants, not in exchange for anything but rather in the spirit of being considerate of the other person.

Hello~It could be muscular related, but in all honesty, I really think you should see your GP or even go to the ER, sometimes women can have heart attacks without the symptoms that men have, they are called "Silent Heart Attacks" I don't want to scare you, but really, as I said, you should see your GP or even the ER, when it comes to chest pains associated with back pain, prompt action should be taken.

For those men who have been caught, men such as myself, trust me, there is nothing more challenging than being with a woman who has caught you doing something you shouldn’t have done. Absolutely. Positively. Nothing. And I understand, those men did it to themselves. Cry her a river.

I have not had a heart attack, but I do have cardiomyopathy and have an ICD. I'm only 34, so I can probably relate with how you are feeling somewhat. It's not fun to be in your thirties and be a heart patient! (Disclaimer to the over thirty population: I know, it's not fun to be a heart patient no matter how old you are.) However, it's better to be aware of the problem and be able to treat it as best as possible. Did you receive any kind of treatment? Angioplasty, bipass?

***sorry for the long rant** men just dont understand our pregnant women struggles and working full time and being a full-time mother.

I had panic attacks about 20 years ago when I worked with all women who smoked some of them chained smoked and I put it down to secondary smoke my thyroid was perfect at the time but also my job was so stressful our boss used to come in every morning and say there were too many women working and as such that was unproductive hours (worked for a construction company where 99% were men) and that one of us would have to go and he would stand there looking at us as if he was trying to decide which o

When women were added to the cardiac research it was discovered that they do usually present with the same symptoms that men do when experiencing heart pain. Some never have chest pain, or only have right sided pain, or back pain or a bit of chest pressure but great fatigue. All sudden onset chest pain (either side) should be treated as serious until it is proven otherwise. How is your Mom doing?

Can you imagine how people would look at a women who abandoned her kids like that? How much better would the world be if men actually had to grow up and take responsibility instead of dumping it all on women???
