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.
My question is, now I am experiencing some other things that I have read could be the early warning signs of an impending heart attack in women, they are - spasmodic dry cough (comes out of the blue, sometimes 12 x day, others 2 x day), and I am suffering from very interrupted sleep. I am waking up almost every hour on the hour every night for the past week or so. I also suffer from extreme bouts of fatigue (not always in conjuction with lack of sleep).
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 am at 25 year old women was born at 25 weeks premature in 1989 weighing 1 pound.
t exactly look promising. In carotid arteries they seem to produce more strokes and heart attacks than the usual procedure. So for the time being, I think I would opt for the endarterectomy if I had to give a choice. I know the minimal invasive option always sounds great. I think if you google carotid endarterectomy vs stenting , you will be presented with a lot of information.
I think medication will see you through for a long time yet, giving you lots of time to study this.
I am a 48 year old white male, and I have already had a total of 5 heart attacks (all within the last 5 tears). At first my doctoer thought it was due to my low HDL, as it has been lower that 28 for the last 5 years. But after my last attack, about 3 months ago, the doctors are now thinking that my body is trying to reject the 3 stents the have pkaced in me. This last attack was pretty serious, and we are planning to have a defibri;ator implanted later this month.
I have read an article about women and heart attacks with different unusual pain - the symptoms were described as severe chest pain that radiated up into the jaws. I suffer from spastic esophagus and the pain is severe (excruciating) chest pain that radiates up into the jaws. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS A HEART ATTACK AND WHAT IS ESOPHAGUS SPASM?
Panic disorder is twice as common in women as in men. Symptoms usually begin before age 25, but may occur in the mid 30s. Although panic disorder may occur in children, it is often not diagnosed until they are older.
Symptoms
A panic attack begins suddenly, and most often peaks within 10 - 20 minutes. Some symptoms may continue for an hour or more. A panic attack may be mistaken for a heart attack.
Wikipedia lists "panic attacks" under possible symptoms of hypothyroidism. I don't have them, but I do know another hypothyroid person who does. She has also had a lot of depression and mood instability.
There was that medical study that concluded that T3 supplementation in addition to standard T4 treatment helped improve mood and mental functioning in hypothyroid patients. Later studies tried to repeat the findings and found no improvement. Hmm...
All the time! This is one of the most common complaints from anxiety. Before taking Ativan, I actually had tachycardia (a heart arrythmia). It started with hyperthyroidism, but after that was taken care of, it never left. Doc told me it was from anxiety and put me on Ativan. It's much better now, but anxiety can cause so many strange symptoms. Hang in there, we're here for you. There's a lot of us who've gone through the same thing!
You are absolutely correct. Inflammation and atherosclerosis doesn't have to take years. I had an angiogram in mid 2010, and by December that year I was in hospital with chest pains. A 95% blockage had formed in 6 months in my Left Circumflex. However the plaque was pretty soft, like butter which showed it wasn't very old. It does seem to take time for a thick calcification to occur.
hiya a panic attack can mimic a heart attack, millions of people have been to the hospital with these symptoms only to be diagnosed with a panic attack, if you are really worried it wont hurt to get your self checked out, i personally have had theses symptoms in the past and its really frightening but i have had my heart checked out etc. i truly think you would actually know if it was definatly a real heart attack,
as for were these attacks stem from?
4 people that i know of in my family have all passed away from heart attacks. i have had countless EKGs and they have all come back perfect. i get rapid heart beat and sometimes what i describe as my heart skipping a beat all through out my days sometimes. i can bend over to pick something up and ive noticed my heart start to race. ive also noticed that when i am around people fighting or i myself is in a disagreement with someone that my heart rate picks up and pounds inside my chest.
In my case, I have had heart attacks and have a couple of stents in my RCA. I suffer with alot of chest pains. So much so that I recently went to the ER thinking it was another heart attack. While there it was found that I suffer with coronary artery spasms and they do put me down. I have to stop what I am doing and wait for it to pass. There are other reasons for chest pains, and I wish there was a way to stop these.
t have anxiety when having a heart attack. Also, many of us can have different symptoms. I did not have the common symptoms of chest pain, sweating, arm pain, none of that, not even anxiety when it was happening. What I recommend to anyone is listening to your body. If you feel like anything strange is going on, get to the hospital. If you're a woman like I am, research symptoms. Women, and some men do not always have the common symptoms.
