Signs of menopause and heart disease appear in women's lives after the age of 40. Some signs of heart attack and hot flashes are similar, so it is important for women to be alert.
If the age of the woman is 45 to 55 years, then she may have the problem of hot flashes. This is normal during menopause. But at this age, women should be aware of the symptoms of hot flashes and heart attack. Awareness about this is necessary so that no mistake is made due to lack of information.
During menopause, women go through many problems like obesity, insomnia, hair fall, wrinkles, stress, sadness, nervousness. During this time, the problem of hot flashes also troubles women. Hot flash means sudden feeling of heat and sweating. During menopause, women suddenly feel hot and sweat a lot. But everything becomes normal after a while.
At this age, some women also get surrounded by heart diseases. In such a situation, women are unable to understand the difference between the signs of heart diseases and the symptoms of hot flashes. Dr. Surabhi Siddharth, Obstetrician and Gynecologist of Motherhood Hospital, Mumbai, is telling about how to identify the difference between hot flashes and heart disease.
What is the difference between a hot flash and a heart attack?
The biggest difference between hot flash and heart attack is that in hot flashes, only heat is felt and sweating occurs. But in heart attack, along with sweating, there is difficulty in breathing. If along with sweating, there is difficulty in breathing, pain in the chest or left side of the body, then these can be symptoms of heart attack.
This does not happen in hot flashes. In hot flashes that occur during menopause, only heat is felt and sweating occurs. Apart from this, there is no problem of any kind. After the age of 40, women must know what is the difference between hot flash and heart attack. If women have the right information about this, then they can easily understand when they need to panic and when not.
Signs of heart attack in women and men
The signs of a heart attack can be different in men and women. In men, the signs of a heart attack are normal such as sweating, chest pain and restlessness. But these signs can be different in women.
If women have sweating, fatigue, nausea, difficulty in breathing, back or jaw pain, then these can be signs of a heart attack. The signs of a heart attack in women are different, so in many cases the disease is not detected early and the woman is late in getting the right treatment. To avoid this, women should be aware of their health.
Awareness about menopause is important
Women are not aware of menopause. Most women are not aware of the physical, mental and emotional changes that occur during menopause. They do not understand the reason for their sadness and nervousness. Why are they suddenly becoming fat? Why are they suddenly sweating so much?
If women are told about menopause beforehand, they can prepare themselves for it. After the age of 40, whenever there is a change in the body or behavior, women should meet a gynecologist and find out the reason for it.
Don't panic about hot flashes
It is common for women to have hot flashes during menopause. Hot flashes occur for some time during the day and then the woman becomes normal immediately. If this is happening to you too, then do not panic.
When hot flashes occur, women suddenly start sweating even in winters. Even if the husband and wife are sleeping in an AC room at night, the wife suddenly starts feeling hot. She asks to open the window and the husband is surprised. He does not understand what has happened to his wife suddenly.
Women themselves do not know about the changes taking place in their bodies during menopause, then what can be expected from the husband. But this is not right. If the woman and family members are aware of the changes taking place during menopause, then a lot of her problems can be reduced. If you are having the problem of hot flashes all the time, then get yourself examined by a doctor.
Lifestyle changes after 40
It is very important to change lifestyle with increasing age. After the age of 40, women's body starts changing. Due to changes in hormones during menopause, women suddenly become fat. Many diseases start surrounding them. At this time, with the right diet and lifestyle, women can easily avoid the problems caused by menopause.
After the age of 40, women should increase the amount of milk and milk products like curd and cheese in their diet. Along with this, include fresh fruits and vegetables, coarse grains, pulses, dry fruits in the daily diet.
For fitness, include exercise, yoga, morning walk in the daily routine. Sleep early at night so that you can get full sleep. After the age of 40, women should definitely take out time for their hobbies. This will give them happiness and reduce stress.
