Heart Disease in Women
Women also have the risk of developing heart
disease as men. Many women are unaware of what to
do as many symptoms of heart disease are
different in women from those in men. If the
women know their heart disease symptoms, there
will be much less risk of developing
complications.

Symptoms

• Some heart attack symptoms are the same in both
  men and women. These include pressure, chest pain
  or discomfort that comes and goes. However, women
  often misunderstand chest pain as pressure or
  tightness. This is because the chest pain is not
  always severe. According to a heart doctor in
  Kolkata, there can be a heart attack without any
  chest pain in some cases. Some other heart attack
  symptoms in women are
• Shortness of breath
• Pain in one or more arms
• Discomfort in the neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back
  or abdomen
• Nausea or vomiting
• Sweating
• Lightheadedness or dizziness
• Indigestion
• Unusual fatigue

Risk factors
In the development of heart disease in women,
many factors play a bigger role than they do in
men. Apart from these, some risk factors for
heart disease are common in both men and women.
The following are some risk factors for heart
disease in women Smoking In comparison to men,
smoking leads to a greater risk of developing
heart disease in women. Diabetes The risk of
developing heart disease is more in women with
diabetes comparing to men with diabetes. Mental
stress and depression There are adverse effects
of stress and depression on the hearts of
women. Inactivity As per the opinion of a heart
specialist in Kolkata, there is a major risk of
heart disease if you dont have physical
activity. Pregnancy complications There can be a
risk of heart disease in women due to high blood
pressure or diabetes during pregnancy. Menopause 
The estrogen levels in a woman become low after
menopause and this can cause a risk of developing
a disease in smaller blood vessels. Heart disease
can develop due to this. Family history of early
heart disease In comparison to men, this is a
greater risk factor for heart disease in
women. Inflammatory diseases The risk of heart
disease can increase in both men and women due to
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other
inflammatory diseases.
