The world was shocked by the news that Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley's daughter, died at the age of 54 from a heart attack.

On this occasion, we bring you details about the first symptoms of a heart attack in women:

1. Sleep disturbance

People associate chronic insomnia with fatigue due to work, stress, diet or vitamin deficiency. But 50 percent of women who survived heart attacks reported long-term sleep disturbances. This symptom is associated with a difficult blood supply to the brain, an imperceptible development of hypoxia and a change in the hormonal level. Anxiety attacks often occur, irritability increases, intense fatigue follows...

2. Shortness of breath or shortness of breath

Before the heart attack, many patients noticed shortness of breath, which appeared for no apparent reason. Shallow breathing occurred even when sitting or walking lightly. The cough occurred in the absence of other signs of cold or flu. However, in the initial stage, the patient may also feel a slight pain or burning in the chest and it does not bother him much at all. These symptoms occur in 40 percent of people who have had a heart attack.

3. Disturbance of stomach acidity

The digestive system is the first to respond to heart problems. As blood flow decreases, the acidity in the stomach can increase, causing heartburn (heartburn), hypochondrial pain and abdominal cramps, and vomiting often occurs. Women attribute the mentioned symptoms and nausea to poor nutrition and diet. Change your diet, consult a nutritionist, but if the symptoms continue – consult a doctor.

4. Cold sweat

If sudden sweating is not associated with fear, you must be careful: the appearance of cold sweat on the forehead for no apparent reason can be a symptom of a heart attack. When the myocardial muscle is overworked, the body tries to control the rise in temperature and removes excess fluid, narrowing the blood vessels.

5. Pain in arms and shoulders

Pain in the arms and neck is not always a sign of osteochondrosis or fatigue: if the heart works intermittently, the arteries that feed the brain and spinal cord are narrowed. There is twitching, stiffness, pain in the back of the head. Only a specialist examination or ultrasound can recognize the first signs of the disease.

Heart attacks often occur in women older than 45 years. The risk increases in menopause if you work hard and are exposed to stressful situations.

To prevent a dangerous situation, give up bad habits, watch your weight and cholesterol, be sure to sleep for 8 hours. It will guard your heart.
