krys Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Tomorrow is the National Wear Red Day to remind women to pay attention to themselves and their #1 killer heart disease. Maybe you've heard it before, but, I'm going to state it again, many women who have heart attacks do not report the classic symptoms that men report....crushing chest pain, pain down the left arm or radiating to the jaw. Many Women report almost no symptoms, or symptoms of relative significance that they easily write them off. Wear red tomorrow. Guys too. Wear something red to remind the women in your general "sphere of influence" how much they mean to you and that you want them to take care of themselves. Ladies....we should know our numbers -(cholesterol, other lipids, sugars, weight etc) and make every effort to normalize them. We should exercise deliberately at least 3 times per week. Quit smoking. A large % of men survive a first heart attack, but that is not so for women. The first heart attack many women have they'll never even know about because it kills them. Please wear something red tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysider Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) You know how you hear a song and can't get it out of your head? I'm posting THIS in hopes that it will have that effect---- And consequently get people to think about wearing red.
