5 Symptoms in Women Indicating a Heart Attack

4. Shortness of breath for simple gestures

Climbing a few steps and being out of breath? Talk while walking and lack air? If this is not usual for you, it may be a sign that your heart is struggling to circulate oxygen properly. Shortness of breath on exertion, even minimal, should never be neglected.

5. Unusual hair loss

We rarely think of the heart when we see our hair falling out… And yet, a hormonal imbalance or intense stress can weaken the scalp. Cortisol, a hormone linked to stress, also plays a role in cardiovascular regulation. Sudden or severe hair loss can therefore be an indirect but significant indicator that something is wrong.

Listening to each other is already protecting oneself. Prevention is better than waiting.
