A Health Related Article about Women's Health
This is a health related article on Women’s Health and how you can obtain better treatment in ER while having a heart attack. This information can save your life.
The life expectancy of a woman is now 79 years of age. We have come a long ways at increasing our life expectancy in the last 100 years for at that time women's life expectancy was 47 years. It sounds like we have done a lot of things right to be able to have gained those 37 years. If we are to continue to build more life expectancy years, we must take a look at the problems and challenges that we now face with Women's Health.
Women have been put in a man’s world in many instances. Men use to have a shorter life expectancy than women, however now that is no longer true. Women now have a much higher death rate from heart attacks than men by 70%.
I have been studying about this problem in health related articles and I found that men and women have different symptoms when having a heart attack and they are still treated the same in the emergency room. So because the symptoms are different they are not recognized and the women go untreated until it is too late.
The difference is that a man is having a heart attack he feels as though there is a heavy weight sitting on his chest. He may also have shortness of breath, sweating and chest pain. When arriving at the hospital, ER automatically assumes he is having a heart attack. When the woman has a heart attack she may experience chest pain but is more likely to have an impending sense of doom, shortness of breath, fatigue and low back pain, shoulder and jaw pain. This is enough different so that ER may mistake this for a panic attack.
We need to read more Health Related Articles so we will be able to save our own lives as well as our loved ones and friends. Women have a death rate from heart attacks and heart disease 70% higher than men. Our country offers one of the best emergency medical systems in the world. So it is hard to believe that this is happening. Women's Health and chance of surviving a heart attack should be much better as one would think it would be good.
This is a Health Related Article to help you become more aware of what can happen by not knowing what to do. There needs to be much more awareness about this situation and this should be corrected. With aging women outnumbering men 2 to 1, it is time for emergency room nurses and doctors to be aware that women have unique health needs, and corrections to this problem needs to be corrected in all ER's in all hospitals.
