heart problem symptoms in female - #18627
I am really worried about this thing that’s been happening to me. For the past couple months, I’ve been feeling kinda weird, like sometimes I get this tightness in my chest. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does, I feel like I can’t catch my breath! I mean, I’m a 35-year-old woman, try to keep in shape, and thought heart problem symptoms in female apply mostly to older folks or those with super bad habits. But then I started reading online and it got me scared about heart problem symptoms in female. I’ve had episodes where I feel lightheaded and even nauseous. My mom had heart issues, so I can’t help but wonder if I’m asking for trouble here. And there’s this dull ache in my left arm, which I read is a big red flag. I went to the doc and they said it’s probably anxiety, but I’m not convinced. How can I tell if I’m just overreacting or if these heart problem symptoms in female are something serious? Should I push for more tests or just chill out? Any thoughts or experiences would be super helpful!
