Women & Heart Disease

According to Jihad A. Mustapha, MD a cardiologist at Metro Health, many women don't recognize life threatening symptoms of heart disease when they experience them. Part of the problem is that women's experiences with heart problems often present quite differently than men's. Some common female symptoms include fatigue, tiredness, shortness of breath, and arm & back pain. Metro Health care professionals stress that prevention is very important and encourage women of all ages to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly and avoid smoking.
