Re: Are Women their own worst enemies

This is quite a serious problem for women, their symptoms of serious heart conditions can be much milder. leading them to think that it is 'nothing'.......and they don't want to look daft when in A&E with just indigestion.
Some women cannot relate jaw pain to a heart attack.
So while it is good to make fun of some things, I don't really think this one of them.

I think that there should be a concentrated campaign to educate women on what symptoms they might experience when suffering a heart attack, and that these symptoms are different for women, and should not be ignored.
