Heart Month: Urgent Wake-Up Call to Women | Dr. Gina Pritchard

February is American Heart Month. This is an urgent wake up call to women.

0: 02 The Silent Threat of Heart Disease
In the chaotic rhythm of our daily lives, we need to urgently draw our attention to a critical matter that can unfold during what should be just another ordinary day. We go through our usual morning routine of juggling family duties and work responsibilities while desperately reaching for that first cup of coffee.
And then you start to feel a bit out of sorts. Dismissing it as just another hectic day, you continue with your routine tasks, sitting down for a moment to catch your breath. However, what seems like a fleeting episode can turn into a shocking revelation. What is initially dismissed as indigestion or gas can turn out to be a heart attack.

This is an urgent reminder that heart disease is the leading cause of death among American women. It's time to recognize the signs, prioritize your heart, and implore the women you care about to do the same.
Heart disease often presents subtle signs such as nausea, jaw tightness, dizziness, shortness of breath, muscle pain, achiness, and pressure in the chest. You need to pay immediate attention to these signals and seek medical help promptly.
