Heart Disease
Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer of women throughout the world? One of the reasons is that heart disease is more difficult to detect in women than it is in men, because women experience less of the tell-tale symptoms. While people are taught that a heart attack will cause crushing chest pain, this usually is true only for men.
Instead, women should be taught that heart disease can cause jaw and shoulder pain, stiffness in the neck, nausea, and other atypical issues. Research the signs and symptoms of heart disease in women to learn more.
