A common belief is that since heart attacks are usually caused by extreme anxiety among women, women tend to have more anxiety-like heart attack symptoms. This includes a feeling of being fatigued, labored breathing and indigestion-like symptoms preceding the heart attack.

It has also been noticed that the onset of a heart attack is more painful among men as compared to female victims of heart attack symptoms in women. The rate at which the heart attack progresses, i.e. the increasing pain and progressive blockage of oxygenated blood supply to the heart, is also a lot slower among women. Thus, female heart attack victims have a marginal advantage in terms of seeking medical care in a timely manner.

Normal Progesterone levels are deemed necessary for the fertility of a woman and her overall well-being. This is primarily because Progesterone is the main hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle apart from playing an important role in ovulation or the development of the female egg and in preparing a woman’s body for pregnancy.

It is generally regarded that the Progesterone levels of a woman and her reproductive and metabolic health are directly related apart from her libido levels (sexual well-being). Having normal Progesterone levels doesn’t mean that a female shouldn’t pass through any phase with variations in progesterone levels.
