Symptoms of heart disease in women

There are no obvious differences between the manifestations of the disease of representatives of male and female sex. The only thing is that men get sick more often. The reason for this is not only the restraint of the male representatives in their feelings and the accumulation of negative emotions. Female hormonal background, differing from male, in some degree protects the hearts of women from cardiological problems.

Characteristic signs of heart disease in women are the following manifestations:

1. Excessive sweating can indicate heart failure, as it is inherently associated with the functioning of the endocrine system. If a woman does not drink hormones and always experiences excessive sweating, then this is an occasion to think about health.
2. Anxiety, rapid heart rate , heaviness in the heart, a premonition of danger and the expectation of something bad can indicate heart disease.
