Heart attacks kill almost 700,000 men and women each year in the US alone.
Research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) about Heart Attack Symptoms in Wemon indicates that they often experience new or different physical symptoms as long as a month or more before experiencing heart attacks. Among the 515 women studied, 95-percent said they knew their symptoms were new or different a month or more before experiencing their heart attack, or Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). The symptoms most commonly reported were unusual fatigue (70.6-percent), sleep disturbance (47.8-percent), and shortness of breath (42.1-percent).
Many women never had chest pains Surprisingly, fewer than 30% reported having chest pain or discomfort prior to their heart attacks, and 43% reported have no chest pain during any phase of the attack. Most doctors, however, continue to consider chest pain as the most important heart attack symptom in both women and men.
The women's major symptoms prior to their heart attack included:
Unusual fatigue - 70%
Sleep disturbance - 48%
Shortness of breath - 42%
Indigestion - 39%
Anxiety - 35%
Major symptoms during the heart attack include:
Shortness of breath - 58%
Weakness - 55%
Unusual fatigue - 43%
Cold sweat - 39%
Dizziness - 39%
Well what really causes heart attacks and what are the kinds of heart attack disease? Over the years there have been many claims made by the medical fraternity,Drug company's and dietitians about what leads to or causes Heart Disease which leads to Heart attacks.
But there seems a new discovery that science is now sighting to be one of the major things that leads not only to heart problems but can be attributed to many other Health issues and we are not being told about it why. I came across this Video (it's a bit tongue in cheek) but it hits the nail on the head me thinks. Take a Little look only goes for a minute or so.
The number of drugs prescribed (sum of which undoubtly used to treat Heart Attack Symptoms-Women) or ordered for patients is rising and totaled 1.3 billion back in 2001, reflecting both the need to prescribe multiple drugs for those with multiple conditions as well as the availability of many new and popular types of medication.
Two of the most frequently prescribed drugs then were Celebrex and Vioxx, newly-marketed to treat arthritis pain (INFLAMMATION) since 1997. Lipitor, a statin drug, Claritin, for allergies and the diuretic Lasix, round out the top five. In 1992 the antibiotic, Amoxiicillin (Amoxil) was the most frequently prescribed drug, but over the past decade antibiotic use has dropped 45 percent with the realization that antibiotics have been over-prescribed.
So what is the thing they are not letting us in on "INFLAMMATION". What causes Inflammation?
As Human Beings we burn oxygen this in turn fill us full of toxins so we need to detox this is achieved by taking Antioxidants: Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals. Health problems such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer etc are all contributed by oxidative damage. Indeed, a recent study conducted by researchers from London found that 5 servings of fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of stroke by 25 percent. Antioxidants may also enhance immune defense and therefore lower the risk of cancer and infection. Ah but wait there is more!! What is the best of all the Antioxidants?
