A Woman’s Heart, Anxiety vs. Heart Attack

Written by Mary Kyle on September 16, 2009 - 7:58pm

There is no doubt that women today are under more stress than ever. One of the “gifts” left to us by the women’s liberation movement is that we not only get to fry-the-bacon-up-in-a-pan at night, but we are also frequently out there in the workforce bringing-home-the-bacon as well.

SHARED by Susan Cody on June 26, 2009 - 12:28pm

I have to say how sad I am at the death of MJ. I have one of his CDs in my car CD player right now and I work out to at least 3 of his songs.

Heart Disease: An Equal Opportunity Killer

Written by Mary Kyle on August 17, 2009 - 7:52pm

I was absolutely thrilled when EmpowHer asked me to write some articles on women’s heart health. The need for this education was drilled home when my dear, sweet, wonderful husband, with his brilliant IQ of 158, asked me why women need to be concerned about their heart health!!!

Chest Pain when Walking

ASKED by Sophie1 on June 16, 2008 - 12:45am

I'm 45 yr old female, 160 lbs, 5'1. Trying to loose weight and have chronic fatigue.

I started walking and I notice 20 mins in to my walk, I get chest pain on the upper right side of my chest. The decollete area, in between my collarbone and the beginning of my breast. The pain is sharp heavy but does not spread. It starts gradually but goes away if I rest. Is this a sign of a Heart Attack or Angina?

A Woman’s Heart, the CT Heart Scan

Written by Mary Kyle on August 31, 2009 - 12:01pm

Since I have several risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease, my doctor recommended that I have a CT heart scan. While I had heard of a CT heart scan, I was not really familiar with exactly what a CT heart scan was or what benefit it provided.

The Fattening of America

ASKED by EmpowHER on February 5, 2008 - 2:45pm

Heard an interesting point today that came from a book called “The Fattening of America” where the author states that business and policymakers need to re-examine the role they play in America’s obesity epidemic.

Leaders, according to the book’s Web site, need to do exactly the opposite of where the economy is taking us. They need to make it cheaper and easier to be thin—not fat.
