I read in Opera's magazine that indigestion is a symptom of heart disease in women.?
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. See http://www.smart-heart-living.com/heart_disease_symptoms.html for good explanation of the symptoms of heart disease and heart attack.

It's not just women, men can have "indigestion" for their heart attack symptom. I think it's because the sensory nerves for the heart & the stomach area have a common origin. On a weird note, I admitted a 50's female one time who's only complaint was that she couldn't stop burping. It was a mojor heart attack. 45 minutes later, she was in the cath lab

the National Department of Health for a country wants to reduce the heart disease rate for the country

the National Department of Health for a country wants to reduce the heart disease rate for the country.?
He finds the best-fit (regression) line for predicting deaths from heart disease (in deaths per 100,000 population) from the amount of wine consumed (in liters per person per year). The line is given by: Heart disease death rate = 168.5 â€“ 1.5 x wine consumption The doctor reckons that by increasing the wine consumption rate to 115 liters per year, the country will eliminate all deaths from heart disease. Give two reasons why this conclusion may not be valid.
