Episode Description

We've all heard it before: The signs of heart attack can be different for men and women. So why are men's symptoms considered "typical"?

Sarah's totally unflitered questions about women's heart attack symptoms include:

What are the signs for women?

How can seemingly random symptoms like jaw pain or sweating be related to the heart?

What about heartburn and acid reflux? How are those mistaken for heart attack?

What role does genetics play in heart health?

What causes heart palpatations and is it cause for worry?

What can we do to prevent all this mess?

The guest for this episode is Dr. Chelsea Ngongang, a cardiologist from WakeMed who is a big fan of getting plenty of water every day (64 oz to be exact). Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.
