@heyimaliced Agree! I was recently turned down but was thankful they even reached back out to say I wasn't selected, but would like to keep my info for future collaborations.
For women especially, heart symptoms may not announce themselves the way people expect.
Mine started as little twitches. It almost felt like a pulled muscle. Then it became pressure. No dramatic sweating. No nausea at first. Just pressure and the unmistakable sense that something was deeply wrong.
I took a baby aspirin and the pressure eased. Then I stood up, threw up, and called 911.
My blood pressure was 220 over 150 when EMSA arrived. They said they had never seen someone identify what was happening that fast.
I knew.
My physician later said it is highly unusual for a woman to read the symptoms that clearly. But I listened to the thing inside me that said, “This is not normal.”
That probably saved my life.
So for your wife, your mother, your sister, your daughter, your friend: do not wait for the Hollywood version of a heart attack. It may feel like twitching, a pulled muscle, pressure, or just a strange internal warning that something is wrong.
Listen to that warning.
Call 911.
The number one killer of women is not breast cancer. It is heart disease.
Women have the biggest hearts of all. They put everyone else’s needs first.
Do not do that this time.
Stop. Listen. Put yourself first.
That is my lesson for you.
Take it to heart.
Literally.
@thecavemommy My parents were young when they had a family, they were young as grandparents and now are still young enough to enjoy their great grandkids. It's beautiful. ❤️
