My Woman's World-Identifying Heart Attacks in Women


A Great Big Vote of Thanks to the Cardiology Department at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.
They have developed a new blood test that improves the detection of Heart Attacks in Men but Mostly Women.


A Wonderful Breakthrough Enhances the Treatment.

Pass this on-If you feel any of the symptoms that are caused by a heart problem we all know what to do. The more people know the more successful the treatment.

The Symptoms
  • A dull pain, ache or "heavy" feeling in the chest
  • A mild discomfort in the chest that makes you feel generally unwell
  • Pain that spreads to the back, arm or stomach
  • Pain that feels like a bad episode of indigestion
  • Chest pain accompanied by feeling light-headed or dizzy
Quotes taken from Jennie Hope at Mail Online 21st January 2015

Anoop Shah, a University of Edinburgh cardiologist who has studied the test, said: ‘While similar numbers of men and women attend A&E with chest pains, we wanted to know why women are less likely to be diagnosed with a heart attack.

Whether using different thresholds for men and women will lead to more accurate diagnosis and improve outcomes is now being evaluated in a large clinical trial funded by the British Heart Foundation.’
Dr Shah based his 22 per cent diagnostic rate on the cases of 1,000 men and women admitted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with chest pain.

Three weeks ago, Jenni Stevens, from Edinburgh, collapsed at work with chest pain. The 41-year-old was rushed to the Royal Infirmary where she was diagnosed with a heart attack after being given the high-sensitive troponin blood test with the lower threshold for women.
Jenni said: ‘I’d been having chest pains for about a month. As a working mum, I put it down to stress. But last week, as I was walking into work, the pain got much worse and I collapsed, causing my colleagues to call an ambulance.
‘I felt a sense of reassurance when I got to the hospital. They took my blood and did other tests. They thought I’d had a heart attack. 
'I was treated with a stent to save my life. I’m so grateful that my heart attack was spotted and treated so well.’

Memories at Moving Times

6th June D Day

I was not born but each year at this time there are many things that I find very moving. As well as the stories being told on television, which often brings tears to my eye's. So many stories that have never been told about so many people who did fantastic work without recognition.Today when the news talked about Vera Lynn, who sang to the troops all those years ago, is now in her late 90's. I just thought How Wonderful. Her songs must bring back many memories to lots of people.

I am singing in a concert this month and we are celebrating part of it with a selection of songs from that era. I hope we do them justice.

My Womans World- Lady Golfers have More Drive

Ladies - We have a secret weapon within our reach. Somewhere in the house most of us have an old fashioned Broom. Dig it out of the cupboard or the hut. Get your Driver and take them both into the garden. Sounds funny? Don't worry. This amazing tip for Lady Golfers give yards and power to your drive and tones the muscles of your waist and abdomen.

Now first take the Broom, hold it as you would a Golf club. You will find it feels heavier and longer than your Driver. Take a practice swing and the first thing you will notice, it stops you using your hands and makes you use your arms and your abdominal muscles. Swing the broom and listen till it goes Broooom. That's a good sound but you don't want to hear it at the top of your swing, you want to hear the Broooom at the bottom of your swing and follow through.

Do this 10-15 times or as many times as you feel comfortable with then try your Driver. You will find out how much the muscles of your waist and abdomen are now giving you extra power at impact with the lighter weight of the Driver.

Ladies - That's knowing your body. Power to all Lady Golfers and good luck to your success in "My Womens World"  Pass it on. This is Womans Power.

Bravado or Ridicule

I Read the Startling Revelations of the Scottish Govenment, where more than 350 Scots a day are visiting GP Surgeries with signs of Malutrition, amid fears of Rising Death Toll caused by the Scots Notoriously Unhealthy Lifestyle.

I had previously seen the Blog below on one of my followers site. So I got permission to show it again. Scotland has some of the most healthy food in the world available to them I hope that by republishing this article it may help some people to regain a Healthy, Happy and Longer Life for themselves and their Families.



Bravado or Ridicule

Why do some people ridicule others who are attempting to improve their overall looks, figures, physical abilities and general health?
           
Is it bravado or is it bullying through a hidden jealousy. Not wanting to be seen as they really are pretending to be happy with their condition, but not strong enough to take action themselves. It is not their fault, some of the fast foods and prepared frozen foods contain additives that are addictive.

The law of attraction brings like minded people together they attract each without realizing it is taking place. It means that it works both ways. The bullies, and the can’t be bothered, stick together, sports people join groups and clubs, whilst singers join choirs etc. and it has a viral effect. The aim of the easy diet solution is to help people who want a happier longer lifestyle, one that makes them feel and look good because they are enjoying what they are doing.

A side effect of being happy is that people laugh more and are not afraid to show they are having fun, It is now known that a good laugh is good for ones health as well as lifting the spirits.

People wanting to feel and look better are not being vain or pushy; they are extending their lives by enjoying it.

Doctors, scientists and nutritionists are all admitting that as obesity is on the increase so is ill health. In the United States of America they are releasing reports on the addictive additives contained in some preserved and fast food items. This can be reduced by eating good healthy tasty food Why risk diabetes, heart problems which could be avoided by eating, not a diet, but good food.

By adopting an, I don’t care attitude and imposing that attitude on others is self destructive. Did this attitude arise from them trying something that did not work and they can’t see a way out, and now they are focused on a road to self destruction.
It is time to change, it is never too late. Any proper effort at this time will pay rewards in the short and long term. Success to improve the quality of life is not a bragging matter but it something to be proud and happy about.

Eating good and enjoyable food will be difficult for some due to the additive qualities of the food they eat which they are unaware. These harmful ingredients are added to prolong the life of the foods. 

DO NOT SELF DESTRUCT.  Some might believe it too hard to try or “been there got the tee shirt, it didn’t work”. WRONG it can work, ditch the bad habits mix with similar minded people and you can be on the road  to success with a really good program, giving you a new longer enjoyable lifestyle, able to enjoy yourself in ways you have forgotten.

Most of us have been there, when you succeed, you will appreciate what you have been missing, it is a wonderful feeling. It’s a strange situation and has a very simple explanation which is easy to understand when it is revealed to you. Just by changing your taste buds and avoiding the pre-packed foods and fast food outlets. How can this be? Recent studies have revealed that many of the ingredients used in the preparation of these types of food are addictive, which is one of the reasons why within a short space of time our bodies are craving a desire to eat again. That’s it, it’s simple. 
Follow a program and realize preserved foods are probably good for occasional snacking but not necessarily good for our health. Eating well is not boring, it is interesting and tasty. Falling into the trap of easy quick prepared meals seems a good idea at the time but the long term effects are destructive.
