I read in the Opera's magazine that indigestion is a symptom of heart disease in women.
Is it a symptom ? If so how can that be?
Or do women just believe they have indigestion when indeed it is a pain being caused by their heart disease?
If you take medicine and it takes away the indigestion, then would it then not be related to heart disease at all?
Cheers.
I believe that it's not that indigestion is a symptom of heart disease in women but that when women are having a heart attack they sometimes mistake it for indigestion so they put off getting treatment which can have deadly outcome if they wait too long.
I don't think they know what they are talking about. indigestion is caused by acid reflux, a total different thing from heart problems so don't let them confuse. acid reflux can be cured too,. it's no big deal. read "natural cures they dont want you to know about" by kevin trudeau
Riley is right. People (both men and women) often think they have indigestion when, in fact, they are having a heart attack. The problem tends to be worse for women because the warning signs are often more vague or don't follow the more common symptoms usually experienced by men.
