Recovering After Heart Attack

Heart attacks in women present differently than in men.  My first heart attack was relatively painless.  I felt a sharp stabbing pain, which went away quickly.  Then I felt the color draining from my face.  Next, I experienced extreme fatigue and breathlessness. However, because I was sick from pertussis a few months prior, I shrugged it off, thinking it would go away. If only I give it a few more minutes.   Many women have early signs of a heart attack that are often ignored.  Women tend to be in denial, which causes them valuable time! Do not delay! Get help right away. Think Time=Muscle. An increase in time seeking medical help, vacillating, procrastinating, and denial ― decreases muscle.  Women having a heart attack may also experience a delay in response to treatment. This is another reason to speak up! Now is NOT the time to be shy.

In a recent press release, study author Dr. Robert Schneider, director of the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention in Fairfield, Iowa and dean of Maharishi College of Perfect Health said, “”It appears that Transcendental Meditation is a technique that turns on the body’s own pharmacy — to repair and maintain itself.” According to researcher those how meditated had a 5mmHG fall in blood pressure and felt less angry than those who did not meditate and just took education classes.
