Women with diabetes are three to seven times more likely to have heart diseases than those without diabetes and the symptoms of a heart attack in women may be different from that experienced by men.
A report by the Diabetic Association of Pakistan said that the risk factors for developing heart diseases are more common and powerful in women with diabetes.
It added that women before menopause are usually protected against heart
diseases due to estrogen and that diabetes overrides or negates the protective effects of estrogen regardless of age.
Extreme fatigue that is different from usual indigestion, severe nausea or vomiting may be the only symptoms women experience. The symptoms may be so vague that they may often go unnoticed. Unfortunately, too many women delay getting to the hospital, either because of denial or just not knowing the symptoms.
Women with diabetes, who have a heart attack, are twice as likely to have a second attack and four times more likely to have heart failure.Under the given circumstances, women who may already had a heart attack are advised to pay attention and immediately get help anytime onexperiencing symptoms of a heart trouble.
