At 25 years old, I was diagnosed with heart failure. I have no past medical issues or family history of heart disease. I was even a year round athlete living a healthy lifestyle! I was experiencing symptoms such as: nausea, weight loss, fatigue, shortness of breath, fatigue, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, and passing out.
As a woman, our symptoms are often dismissed as "anxiety" or "stress". I'm here to tell you to ADVOCATE and listen to your body!
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women in America & it's up to us to change that! Join us at the heart walk & go to heart.org to donate and learn more about heart health and ways to get involved!
