Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and women are more likely to be affected than men. Women's hearts and blood vessels are smaller and have thinner muscular walls, which can make it harder to identify heart disease and delay treatment. Women are also more likely to have health conditions that increase their risk of heart disease, such as anemia, early menopause, and endometriosis. Some common types of heart disease in women include: Coronary artery disease This is the most common type of heart disease in the United States and occurs when plaque clogs arteries, preventing the heart from getting enough blood. Arrhythmia This condition causes an irregular heartbeat, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Diseases of the heart valves These include mitral valve prolapse, mitral regurgitation, and aortic stenosis. Microvascular disease This is caused by plaque in the small vessels that supply the heart muscle, which can cause chest pain. Symptoms of heart disease in women include: Chest pain or discomfort, which can be dull and heavy or sharp Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen, or back Nausea or vomiting Unusual fatigue Shortness of breath during physical activity Other risk factors for heart disease in women include: Smoking Women who smoke are two to six times more likely to develop heart disease than non-smokers. Stress and depression Chronic stress and depression can increase cortisol levels, which can lead to inflammation in the arteries. https://www.cdc.gov/heart-disease/a...-,Symptoms,dizziness, and shortness of breath.
https://fearlessliving.org/overcoming-self-doubt-why-youre-stuck-and-how-to-get-unstuck/ What do you call a person who makes you doubt every bloody thing about yourself? What is wrong with them? I know who I am and they ALWAYS make me doubt myself. They can be good people. Example: an anxious parent can always ask “Are you sure you can do this?” or believe that it is better not to try (if you don’t try, you never fail). The result is that you feel bad, but it is not what the parent is looking for: they are just sharing their anxiety about you. Just learn to live with it and don’t pay attention. They can be dangerous people. The most frequent case is that of a narcissist: the narcissist is out to prove that he/she is superior to you, so whatever you do well, they diminish in order to self-aggrandize. It is worse than jealousy: it is a systematic work to belittle others. How do you recognize a narcissist? He/she is doing that to everybody, not just you. The solution is to avoid people like that as much as you can. @Tully_Monster I am sharing this because of your reply to my post in the thread. If you know who you are and believe in yourself, NO ONE can make you doubt yourself. Stay strong.
Thank you for sharing, I just lost myself a long time ago. Sometimes I have great moments of finding ME again but I just can't hang onto her. I stay strong cause I have to, no matter how many people I'm surrounded by I know I'm the only one I can count on
This is sad, makes me sad. I wish I had the answers that can help, but I hope that you take care of yourself. I'm sorry you feel this way. Me too, I am the only one I can truly count on but hopefully you have family and good friends to lean on too.
Sorry for jumping in here but Them great moments of finding YOU again will happen more and more often as you go on this journey Its not going to be easy alot of selfdoubt and thinking 'maybe they were right' but trust me they were all wrong, and once you get there its honestly an amazing feeling If you ever need to chat or someone to listen you can message me at anytime, i've posted on this thread before also But you have my support and you got this x
