‘I never, ever thought I was having a heart attack’: 46-year-old Ines’ story

[@chappy27441]

Thank you for sharing your story. As women, we are often reluctant to seek help; we are often told ‘oh it’s menopause related’, or ‘it’s anxiety’. Doctors quickly dismiss our symptoms that’s why we are the last ones to go get checked. We are tired of being gaslighted.

This is similar to what I’ve felt when grieving the loss of someone I cared for. I found out months later I had a heart attack.

I'm so proud of you, you're so strong.

I am half Hispanic and had a SCAD heart attack shortly after delivering a baby. The world needs to know that this disease can happen to people of ALL races.

Have you tried a whole food plant based diet?

I am from Denmark, 57 years old. I had SCAD january 2022. And I have fibromuscular dysplasia as well. Take care❤

Thank you for your story. I feel like womens health isn't taken seriously. I have been having odd symptoms the last few days and reluctant to get it checked because I don't feel like doctors listen to me. I have had more heartburn lately than I normally get. Over the weekend it was bad. I see my doctor soon and will be discussing some things. Thank you for your time.

Also cardio-rehab for men in the hospital lasted 3 hours. It was one day a week for 8 weeks . They had an hour of Q&A , an hour of exercise and an hour of relaxation . And for women cardio - rehab lasted for 30 minutes and it was rubbish . A lot of women left . There was no Q&A , a bit of sitting on a chair and pretending it was exercise . NO relaxation class at all . The men looked fit and healthy and happy . The women looked weak , tired , ill , and defeated

I've seen women look more healthier and happy in a hostel for battered wives compared to being in cardio - rehab for women
