Causes of a silent heart attack in women
A silent heart attack most often happens when the flow of blood is blocked in the coronary arteries by a build up of plaque. Studies differ, but some suggest that silent heart attacks are more common in women than in men.

Women and their physicians may also be more likely to chalk up symptoms of a silent heart attack to stress or anxiety and dismiss them.

Hard to recognize symptoms of a silent heart attack
A silent heart attack is still like any other heart attack — there’s a blockage of blood flow to a section of the heart. That blockage can cause scarring and damage to the heart muscle. It’s possible for a doctor to discover a heart attack through the use of MRI or an EKG and the person never know the heart attack occurred.

People who have silent heart attacks are more likely to have non-specific and subtle symptoms, such as:

Indigestion
Flu-like symptoms
Feeling like you strained a muscle in the chest or upper back
Discomfort in the jaw or upper back or arms
Risk factors for a silent heart attack in women
The risk factors for a silent heart attack are the same as those for a known heart attack, and include:

Diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Smoking
Family history of heart disease
Obesity
Increasing age
A silent heart attack can be just as dangerous as its more obvious counterpart. Because the event often leaves scarring and damage to the heart, it puts the person at greater risk of other heart problems. Since the person didn’t know to seek treatment, blood flow to the heart might not have been restored quickly, and no medications were administered, so the impact could be greater.

What had happended was...a few of my Sister Friends also know as The F.L.A.M.E.S. agreed to help me as an American Heart Association Ambassador raise funds as we help educate on the importance of heart-health. Today is Go Red Day for heart health month and I'm certain you all are dressed in your best RED (share your photos please) So, what if I said that together, we can help save the lives of millions of people? We know it takes dollars to help save lives through research and trials. We The F.L.A.M.E.S. are asking for your dollars and your coins. Your donation to the American Heart Association makes you a powerful advocate for a world filled with longer and heathier lives.

We did a thing…members of our D9 community had the opportunity to share space with Vice President Kamala Harris hosted in Park City at the home of Nancy and Ambassador Mark Gilbert. Needless to say our presence and collective power was noticed and felt. The group photo with our Vice President will be shared later.

Opportunities happen when we say yes for a cause. The American Heart Association connected with Tunisha Brown and she invited a few Sisters to support her as an IMPACT Ambassador to raise awareness about heart disease in our community. We want to encourage you to take care of you. Schedule your annual check-up. Walk, Run, Skip, Junp rope, Zumba, whatever exercise works for you to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We love you much! Join us for the cover reveal on March 29th.
