6 Symptoms of Women’s Heart Attacks

By Lisa Fields
WebMD Feature

When a heart attack strikes, it doesn’t always feel the same in women as it does in men.

Women don’t always get the same classic heart attack symptoms as men, such as crushing chest pain that radiates down one arm. Thoseheart attack symptoms can certainly happen to women, but many experience vague or even “silent” symptoms that they may miss.

These six heart attack symptoms are common in women:

  1. Chest pain or discomfort. Chest pain is the most common heart attack symptom, but some women may experience it differently than men. It may feel like a squeezing or fullness, and the pain can be anywhere in the chest, not just on the left side. It’s usually “truly uncomfortable” during a heart…

No Complaining Zone

Can I get a pin to wear with this statement? I’ve worked with some toxic people who only complain about their job, yet do nothing to change their situation. It gets very tiresome. While I’ve been known to complain (as we all do), I do something about it. Life is too short!

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE…

As a person with heart disease in my family, (my dad died at 56 of a heart attack) this is critical information. Thanks Chris!

1 Let’s say it’s 7.25 pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2 You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4 Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5 You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6 HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left…

Men’s Underwear on Ebay-WTF?!?

So me and the hubby are shooting the breeze and he tells me he heard his co-worker sells men’s underwear on Ebay. What?!?!?  I guess he is trying to supplement his income. I did a quick search on Ebay, and the prices for men’s boxers were not that great. We’re talking like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. Apparently this guy buys the skivvies directly from the manufacturer and then resells them.

I suppose if you have a crap load of kids you might need to save a few bucks on underwear, but then how could you see the people of Wal-mart if you are not there buying cheap underwear??

Women over 50

Just a couple of “older” women from a magazine article. SEXY!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelle-combs/what-not-to-wear-after-ag_b_6656902.html

Ever seen Helen Mirren in a bathing suit??

What is this crap about what women over 50 shouldn’t wear? Are we all supposed to wear flowered dresses and orthopedic shoes?? Really? Come on now. I never see any articles about what not to wear when you are UNDER 50. Why is that? Women over 50 today are sophisticated, trendy and beautiful. Wear what the hell you like. I love this article take a minute to read it if you are over 50 it will give you a laugh and you out there under 50 well one day perhaps you will be as self respecting and as confident as some of us are. Until then you wear what you like and I will wear what I damn please.

Stress, And Your Body Thinking It Might Die

Steven Farquharson's avatar2HelpfulGuys

You have a headache, an upset stomach, problems getting to sleep, elevated blood pressure and chest pains.

If you looked this up on WebMd.com you’d probably think you were dying from some sort of horrifying disease. But in fact, these are the symptoms of a much more common health problem affecting almost all of us.

Stress

In the same way that pain isn’t all bad because it lets you know the difference between a warm shower and scalding yourself with boiling water, stress isn’t always a bad thing either.

Stress responses in your body during life threatening situations signal your body to stop all non-life-saving functions and focus on getting you out of the burning building, or running away from the man eating lion.

But the problem with stress is that your physiological responses to non-immediate stresses are largely the same as when you’re fighting for survival.

In other words…
