Shortness of Breath
Heart disease kills millions of men and women in the world each year. According to the Center for Disease Control, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women.
This is because women don’t recognize the symptoms and don’t seek emergency medical attention. Here are some of the signs that you need to look out for that can help you save lives in the future, including your own.
Shortness of breath is a common sign of heart disease. If you’ve just climbed a flight of stairs or finished an intense workout, that’s normal. But shortness of breath while in a relaxed state or while lying flat on your back should be a cause for alarm.
