Physical Warning Signs No Woman Should Ignore

Indigestion

Like abdominal pain on the previous slide, indigestion is a commonly overlooked sign of an impending heart attack in women. Because most individuals do not associate the digestive tract with heart health, ignoring indigestion or heartburn along with other symptoms often leads to heart attacks that go unnoticed until it is too late. If indigestion presents with dizziness, back or abdominal pain, excessive sweating, loss of vision, shortness of breath, or fatigue, it is wise to see a doctor immediately. Prolonged indigestion could also indicate issues within the digestive tract, including irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, ulcers, and even gallbladder diseases.
