Health Briefs TV Celebrates Heart Health Month in February

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - Feb. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- The Health Briefs TV producers and staff join the nation in bringing awareness to Heart Health this month.  Heart disease affects more women than men in the United States and claims 400,000 lives each year. It is the number one killer of women in the country. The American Heart Association has deemed February as Heart Health Month and encourages everyone to “Go Red for Women” every Friday.  Women experiencing any of the symptoms should seek medical care immediately:

•    Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
•    Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
•    Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
•    Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
•    As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.
