| "Guest-blogger Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst N.Y. and has worked in the ophthalmology field of medicine for over 30 years..." Today she talks about some warning signs of heart of attack that everyone needs to be aware of! ;D) Enjoy... |
Recently my husband and myself were out at our favorite breakfast spot on Thursday morning when our waitress who we know fairly well did not look well. We asked her what the problem was and she told us about neck pain, back pain and jaw pain. Instantly we told her she may be having a heart event and needed to be seen right away.
Not more than 10 minutes later, she was on the floor in pain. Luckily the cook was her husband and called 911 immediately.
Women don’t present with the same symptoms for heart attack as men do. A shout out to all women out there…if you are having neck pain, jaw pain, back pain head pain or chest pain…don’t wait. Take care of it.
This woman was lucky; she made it to the ER just in time to have her heart attack and was having heart surgery only 2 hrs later. One of her arteries were totally blocked. She was one of the lucky ones; let’s take care of ourselves ladies.

Scary story with a good ending.
