Cardiovascular disease in middle-aged women

(Baonghean) -When suffering from cardiovascular disease, more than half of women do not feel chest pain or tightness because, unlike men, women are supplied with blood from small vessels so they hardly feel any abnormal symptoms. Common symptoms of women with cardiovascular disease are as follows:

Constant fatigue: Feeling tired often appears in the early stages of the disease. This feeling of fatigue is not limited to a certain part of the body but is a general fatigue.

Shortness of breath: Some patients, in addition to the common symptoms of heart disease, also experience shortness of breath. At such times, they should sit down for a few minutes, and their breathing will return to normal. However, when the patient stands up and continues walking, the condition becomes more serious. This is often overlooked, especially by those with a history of respiratory problems.

Indigestion, nausea: Unlike stomach disease, heart disease causes stomach pain but the patient usually does not feel bloated. They usually just have a dull ache and nausea.

Arm pain (especially the left arm): The left arm and left shoulder are often affected by heart disease. Although we will not feel too much pain, we will have difficulty raising our arms.
