can some one tell me what the signs and symptoms of a heart attack for a woman that is 35 to 36 years old, known diabetic and has an enlarged heart?
Most often the symptoms of a heart attack are shortness of breath chest pressure or tightness, heavy sweating, nausea numbness of the left arm or jaw.
Now you are female and women don’t always show the classical symptoms and add to the fact that you are Diabetic even makes it more difficult to show the classical symptoms. I say this about Diabetics because there is strong correlation with Diabetes and Heart Disease. Another interesting issue is that, many Diabetics develop a Neuropathy ( decreased sensation) throughout their body so they don’t show the classical symptoms.
I really suggest that you see your physician as soon as possible and let him/her know that the symptoms that you are feeling.
Good luck and get in to see your doctor!

Heart attacks signs symptoms, call emergency healthcare services fast. A public information clip to highten awareness to signs and symptoms of heart attacks or myocardial infarction. Heart attack is the interruption of blood supply to part of the heart, causing some heart cells to die. Restricted or insufficient blood circulation damage other internal organs (lungs, kidneys, liver, brain, limb control, etc), eventually, leading to multiple organ failures. A heart attack is a medical emergency. In the USA call 9-1-1, or 999 in the UK for emergency healthcare services. Most people tend to ignore or dismiss the signs and syptoms that are not always apparent for hours, and vary from mild to severe. Heart patients don’t always sweat. May may feel cold and shiver even on a very hot summer day.
Immediate, first aid checks and treatments include: check for and treat abnormal blood pressure, heart beat, pulse, abnormal oxygen, sugar and cholesterol levels. Knowing the symptoms of heart attacks and unstable angina can save your life, the life of a loved one, or even the life of a complete stranger. Give or take 300mg to 400mg of aspirin or dispirin to chew, GTN or NTG (glyceryl trinitrate) spray or sublingual tablets under the tongue, and morphine sulfate to kill pain. A heart attack is one of the leading causes of death. This information may help you save a life, but always consult qualified and experienced medical professionals, and keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.
Call emergency heathcare services or fully equipped hospital ambulance for physical examination; to expedite diagnostic tests (ECG/EKG or electrocardiogram, X-Rays, angiography, tread mill stress tests, neurological examination, CT or MRI scans, Doppler ultrasound, and arteriography) and other treatments, and to discuss family medical history. Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), diabetes, high cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor.
one in three heart attack victims die before they reach hospital. Many people don’t recognise the signs and fail to take the steps that may have saved their life or the life of a loved one. This is two minutes which could save your life. Or the life of someone you love.
NOTE: Only angiograms or angiography can pinpoint blockages. X-Rays and ECGs are often waste of time. After the precise locations of the blockages are identified, the blockages can only be reduced by angioplasty and stent insertion. I have been there, and back, too many times since 1995.
Heart attacks are one of the deadliest conditions for people around the world. Heart attack is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Most people die of heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. Heart disease may result in a heart attack, a condition in which reduced blood flow to the heart leads to the damage or death of heart tissue. The damage can not be reversed, but the heart muscle or tissue damage it can be minimised.
A heart attack can be caused by many things, but is usually caused by a clogging of an artery. Whatever the cause may be, it is important to know the signs so that either you or the person that is experiencing the symptoms can get help as soon as possible. Heart attacks are serious, if not fatal, when symptoms are ignored. The first tell-tale sign of a heart attack is chest pain, but unlike men, women can experience other symptoms of a heart attack. A heart attack in women is often misdiagnosed because the symptoms are often dismissed as those of a cold or the flu. feeling of indigestion, and fatigue. Heart attack, or myocardial infarction, symptoms include sudden chest pain (typically but not always radiating to the left arm or left side of the neck), shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, sweating, and anxiety. A heart attack is different from, but can be the cause of cardiac arrest, which is the stopping of the heartbeat, and cardiac arrhythmia, an abnormal heartbeat.
Important risk factors are previous cardiovascular disease (such as unstable angina, a previous heart attack or stroke), older age (usually, but not always, men over 40 and women over 50), high blood levels of certain lipids (triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein or “bad cholesterol”) and low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL, “good cholesterol”), diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, excessive alcohol consumption, the abuse of certain drugs (such as cocaine and methamphetamine), and chronic high stress levels.
