二月份是美国心脏月， 二月六日（前两天）又是全国穿红衣日。心脏病是男性和女性死亡的主要原因。它也是导致美国大多数族裔包括非裔，拉美裔和白人死亡的首要原因。爱护你的心脏
1. Eat a heart healthy diet.
The nutrition facts on the food label can help you make healthy food choices.
- Choose foods that are ‘low salt’ or ‘low sodium’.
- Limit foods that have ‘trans fat’. Too much trans fat can cause heart attacks.
- Cut back on sugar. Sugar is also labeled as ‘glucose’, ‘fructose’, ‘sucrose’, and ‘corn syrup’.
2. Manage your health conditions.Common health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease.
- Take your medicines as directed. Do not stop taking your medicines until your doctor says that it is OK.
- If you have diabetes, check your blood sugar level.
- Get your blood pressure and cholesterol tested.
- Ask your doctor how you should manage your health conditions during pregnancy.
- Some women need a device to help their heart work. Talk to your doctor about what device is best for your heart problem.
3. Get the facts about aspirin.Daily use of aspirin to prevent heart attacks or a stroke is not right for everyone.
- Ask your healthcare provider if you should use aspirin.
- If aspirin is right for you, find out:
- how much you should take
- how often you should take it.
- how long you should take aspirin. Some products combine aspirin with other ingredients and are not
- meant for long-term use.
- Tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines and supplements you take. Your risk of bleeding may be higher if you use aspirin with also taking certain medicines, vitamins, or herbs.
4. Know the signs of a heart attack.The signs of a heart attack can be different for women than they are for men.
- Chest pain (heavy ache or pressure)
- Pain in your upper body (arms, neck, jaw, back or upper stomach)
- Shortness of breath
- Breaking out in a cold sweat
- Unusual or unexplained tiredness
- Feeling dizzy or light-headed
- Feeling sick to your stomach (nausea)
Call 9-1-1 if you think you are having a heart attack.
一图了解心脏病发作的迹象（记住红箭头的位置和图下那些小字的其它症状）:
女性心脏病发作的症状有时不是太典型，比如疼痛不一定发生在心脏区域附近，而很可能只是感觉肩膀、后背、上臂或脖子、下颚甚至可能只是觉得胃部不适等......所以，当没有改善/缓解时，一定不要忽视，应该约看医生或打911进ER。
