Heart attack symptoms are different in men, women
Kathy Hubbard Columnist | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 10 months AGO
It’s no surprise. Men and women differ in many ways.
Some of the differences are funny and some are serious. Serious as a heart attack. Because the symptoms are not the same for both genders it’s important to know the warning signs. Early treatment can save your life.
Let me say this, if you think you’re suffering from a heart attack if you have any of the symptoms I’m going to describe here, call 911. Do not try to drive yourself to the hospital. Do not take the time to call someone to come take you to the hospital. The emergency crews know how to initiate treatment that can mean the difference between life and death. I’m serious here.

I don’t drink coffee. Not for any particular reason other than I just don’t particularly like it and it gives me heartburn.
Talk explores living with chronic disease
For some of us, having a chronic illness isn’t an emotional issue. It’s only about popping a pill or two every morning or evening. No big deal. But, that’s not the case for others. Think about an amputee who has to put on a prosthesis every morning. Think about a lupus sufferer who can’t go out in the sun without total head-to-toe protection.
