Use Your Voice-It Could Save your Life with Kisha Stewart

  1. Use Your Voice-It Could Save your Life with Kisha Stewart Kimberly Benoy 31:18

Twelve years ago, Kisha Stewart was a 31 year old who recently gave birth trying to enjoy a night out with her husband. She dismissed some symptoms she was experiencing, but as the night progressed, she could not ignore what she was feeling and she went to the Emergency Room. Thanks to the RN who realized she was having a heart attack, she was eventually diagnosed with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). She is now an advocate for women who need to use their voice when they know something isn’t right and yes, be dramatic to get someone to listen.

You may know the typical symptoms of a heart attack but you may not know that women have different symptoms than men do. These may include:

  • shortness of breath
  • nausea or vomiting
  • back or jaw pain.
  • overwhelming sense of Anxiety or a feeling of impending doom
  • unusual fatigue
  • dizziness
  • fainting.

Women might have discomfort in the chest, but not always. It’s worth noting that symptoms in women can be subtler and may be overlooked as signs of less serious conditions, like acid reflux or the flu. Thus, both men and women should pay close attention to their bodies and seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate a heart attack.
