Heart Health awareness for women

Barb&Meg · 02-02-2007

Just in case you didn't know this:

Today is a day of awareness for women regarding heart health and heart attacks.

Heart attack and heart problems are still basically a "silent killer" among women.

Please take a minute today to encourage someone you love (yourself included) to be kind to her heart and include this as part of her daily (or whatever) health care routine.

I have a friend who is 42 and she had her first heart attack some weeks ago. It was mild, but still very frightening. Thanks for posting this.

I found out a year ago that I have an Aortic aneurysm but the cardiologist said that it might be something I was born with. When I asked if this could be dangerous, he said that I could live until I am 80 and then it bursts, or it could happen before but isn't likely

He did say to exercise, take an aspirin and not worry. I haven't really until recently.... I have no confidence in the doctors in Oklahoma to be honest, so I started thinking that I ought to find out some more and even see a heart specialist out of state. Any nurses/doctors on board? What do you all think?
