You know, people often say
00:00:01.06\00:00:03.51
that a number one killer
of women is actually cancer.
00:00:03.54\00:00:08.98
But we have news for you today
00:00:09.01\00:00:10.26
because guess what?
00:00:10.29\00:00:11.33
The number one killer
00:00:11.36\00:00:12.39
of women is
really heart disease.
00:00:12.42\00:00:15.25
Stay by.
00:00:15.28\00:00:17.33
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:50.76\00:00:52.51
I'm Curtis Eakins, the
co-host and this is my wife...
00:00:52.54\00:00:56.32
Okay, wait a minute, now what--
00:00:56.35\00:00:57.80
Honey, okay,
what's the problem here?
00:00:57.83\00:00:59.17
I'm-- I'm, oh, hi.
00:00:59.20\00:01:00.89
Okay. This is kind of rude.
00:01:00.92\00:01:01.96
Okay. I was reading...
00:01:01.99\00:01:03.58
Oh, this is a fantastic book
here and it's talking about...
00:01:03.61\00:01:06.51
Before you talk
about what you're reading,
00:01:06.54\00:01:08.09
let me first introduce
00:01:08.12\00:01:09.76
that you may be share
with all what you're reading.
00:01:09.79\00:01:12.01
So this is my wife Paula Eakins.
00:01:12.04\00:01:14.78
Hi. You say hi, okay.
00:01:14.81\00:01:16.91
Now, you are
missing about heart disease
00:01:16.94\00:01:20.18
because, you know,
00:01:20.21\00:01:21.29
people have asked that
question on the streets.
00:01:21.32\00:01:22.76
I know.
00:01:22.79\00:01:23.88
And for years they would say,
00:01:23.91\00:01:26.40
what do you think is the
number one killer for women.
00:01:26.43\00:01:30.76
And about 30 years ago,
00:01:30.79\00:01:32.43
quite a few people
would say breast cancer.
00:01:32.46\00:01:34.86
Absolutely.
00:01:34.89\00:01:35.92
All right, and so
and then 30 years later
00:01:35.95\00:01:40.34
that number really
hasn't dropped that much.
00:01:40.37\00:01:43.30
Some people still
think it's breast cancer,
00:01:43.33\00:01:46.01
only other type of cancer,
00:01:46.04\00:01:48.22
but the number one
killer is heart disease.
00:01:48.25\00:01:52.43
The second killer
is not even close.
00:01:52.46\00:01:54.92
So now, you're
reading something because.
00:01:54.95\00:01:57.60
Every month-- Every month...
00:01:57.63\00:01:59.25
Back in the month of February,
00:01:59.28\00:02:00.37
I guess you're
trying to figure out
00:02:00.40\00:02:01.51
then it's called Go Red,
00:02:01.54\00:02:03.66
and that's because in
the month of February,
00:02:03.69\00:02:06.07
we ask the women,
United States women
00:02:06.10\00:02:08.16
to wear red in
the month of February
00:02:08.19\00:02:10.01
which is called Go Red.
00:02:10.04\00:02:12.22
Now, I'm wearing red too.
00:02:12.25\00:02:13.33
I'm not the woman,
so I try to represent.
00:02:13.36\00:02:15.38
You represent but the reason
00:02:15.41\00:02:17.17
why it's Go Red for
women is because we're trying
00:02:17.20\00:02:20.05
to really make sure
that women understand
00:02:20.08\00:02:22.01
that heart attack is the
number one killer of women.
00:02:22.04\00:02:25.04
All right, and so
there's some statistics
00:02:25.07\00:02:26.83
that actually been out here
00:02:26.86\00:02:27.91
and I know
we're gonna show those
00:02:27.94\00:02:29.03
but it is talked
about the fact of 1 in 3.
00:02:29.06\00:02:32.53
We're now at
the point of 1 in 3.
00:02:32.56\00:02:34.46
One in three women.
00:02:34.49\00:02:35.68
One in three women
will actually suffer
00:02:35.71\00:02:37.85
from some type of
cardiovascular event.
00:02:37.88\00:02:39.73
Oh, okay.
00:02:39.76\00:02:40.80
And that's pretty heavy.
00:02:40.83\00:02:42.11
Okay, that's pretty heavy.
00:02:42.14\00:02:43.34
And so it says a
lot of things in here.
00:02:43.37\00:02:45.20
I know we're going to
be talking about that,
00:02:45.23\00:02:46.72
but I was just so intrigued
00:02:46.75\00:02:47.88
because number one is that
00:02:47.91\00:02:49.00
we're wearing red and to,
you know, be a part of it.
00:02:49.03\00:02:52.55
And number two is that,
00:02:52.58\00:02:54.61
in Huntsville we
actually did a whole program
00:02:54.64\00:02:57.02
called a Million
Heart Conference.
00:02:57.05\00:02:58.82
And in Million Heart Conference,
00:02:58.85\00:03:00.83
it was amazing,
00:03:00.86\00:03:02.22
because it was a
three day conference
00:03:02.25\00:03:03.85
and we ask people to
come in and we talked about
00:03:03.88\00:03:06.08
cardiovascular
health, heart disease.
00:03:06.11\00:03:08.63
We got into the whole
thing about women with stroke
00:03:08.66\00:03:10.71
and heart attacks
which is totally different
00:03:10.74\00:03:13.08
from a man, okay.
00:03:13.11\00:03:14.64
And the place was packed.
00:03:14.67\00:03:17.03
The first night they
came from everywhere.
00:03:17.06\00:03:19.52
Community, the church members.
00:03:19.55\00:03:21.77
Our pastor was
very, very surprised,
00:03:21.80\00:03:23.50
I mean we had
over 150 some people,
00:03:23.53\00:03:25.64
they showed up on
a very first evening.
00:03:25.67\00:03:27.91
Yeah, and what my wife
00:03:27.94\00:03:29.63
is talking about
the Million Heart,
00:03:29.66\00:03:31.57
the Center for Disease Control
00:03:31.60\00:03:33.79
and also the
National Institute of Health,
00:03:33.82\00:03:35.53
they combined together to launch
00:03:35.56\00:03:37.07
the Million Heart campaign.
00:03:37.10\00:03:38.80
This is a 7 year campaign
00:03:38.83\00:03:40.54
to reduce the amount of
heart attacks and strokes
00:03:40.57\00:03:42.22
by 1 million by
the year I think 2017.
00:03:42.25\00:03:46.54
So we are the
Health Ministry Director
00:03:46.57\00:03:48.96
of South Central Conference.
00:03:48.99\00:03:50.99
Since we live in the
middle of the stroke belt,
00:03:51.02\00:03:55.07
we thought it would be necessary
00:03:55.10\00:03:56.49
to be part of that
national initiative
00:03:56.52\00:03:58.95
so we are now a
national partner,
00:03:58.98\00:04:01.31
the Health Department
of South Central Conference
00:04:01.34\00:04:03.81
and we want to
emphasize awareness
00:04:03.84\00:04:06.86
of heart attacks and strokes.
00:04:06.89\00:04:08.77
And so the Million Heart is
reason why they call it that
00:04:08.80\00:04:11.91
to reduce the amount of
heart attacks and strokes
00:04:11.94\00:04:13.54
by 1 million in
the 6 or 7 year period.
00:04:13.57\00:04:17.30
And so it was also my event
00:04:17.33\00:04:19.55
and for those who want
to, after this program,
00:04:19.58\00:04:22.99
we'll give you
the website right now.
00:04:23.02\00:04:25.14
We taped that
event, the two day event
00:04:25.17\00:04:28.21
and you can go
00:04:28.24\00:04:29.34
to the South
Central Conference website,
00:04:29.37\00:04:32.68
a Seventh-day Adventist,
00:04:32.71\00:04:34.32
and go click to the
health ministry's page,
00:04:34.35\00:04:37.00
as you can see
the two night event
00:04:37.03\00:04:39.05
that we videotaped
for those two nights.
00:04:39.08\00:04:41.39
Yeah, and you
said-- I said three,
00:04:41.42\00:04:43.06
and the reason why
I said three nights
00:04:43.09\00:04:44.12
is because the first two nights
00:04:44.15\00:04:45.67
was actually cardiovascular
stroke, heart attack
00:04:45.70\00:04:47.81
and then last
night we showed a video
00:04:47.84\00:04:50.30
and it was
absolutely a mind-boggling,
00:04:50.33\00:04:52.77
open your eyes kind of thing.
00:04:52.80\00:04:55.14
Now, on top of that
00:04:55.17\00:04:56.28
though we had a
Million Heart Conference
00:04:56.31\00:04:57.90
and then just most
recently we had a whole program
00:04:57.93\00:05:00.35
called Women's Wellness Week.
00:05:00.38\00:05:02.15
And Women's Wellness Week
was every topic or hot topic
00:05:02.18\00:05:05.71
dealing with
woman and their health,
00:05:05.74\00:05:06.89
and you know that
stroke and heart attack
00:05:06.92\00:05:08.67
became a program as well.
00:05:08.70\00:05:10.63
Once again, standing room
only lots of women came out
00:05:10.66\00:05:13.60
because it's-- we experience
00:05:13.63\00:05:16.20
heart attacks and strokes
totally different from males.
00:05:16.23\00:05:20.53
As a matter of
fact back in the day
00:05:20.56\00:05:22.18
that was all the ways back,
00:05:22.21\00:05:24.46
most of the
research was done on men
00:05:24.49\00:05:26.62
and not on women.
00:05:26.65\00:05:27.79
And then the women's
health initiative started up
00:05:27.82\00:05:30.52
out at Washington DC.
00:05:30.55\00:05:32.06
And they began doing a
lot of research on women
00:05:32.09\00:05:34.20
and women's health on any topic
00:05:34.23\00:05:35.78
you could think about
that dealt with women,
00:05:35.81\00:05:37.44
they did it and so
of course heart disease
00:05:37.47\00:05:39.99
became a real big issue,
00:05:40.02\00:05:42.41
heart attacks and stroke and so.
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.56
They did books and recipes
00:05:44.59\00:05:46.24
and all kind of
stuff dealing with it,
00:05:46.27\00:05:47.91
trying to make women
more aware of what's going on.
00:05:47.94\00:05:50.30
Now, our program
is entitled Go Red.
00:05:50.33\00:05:55.12
And so the book you're
reading is the book Go Red.
00:05:55.15\00:05:58.26
Go Red.
00:05:58.29\00:05:59.36
On this website Go
Red and go to that website
00:05:59.39\00:06:02.18
and get a lot of information
about women and heart disease.
00:06:02.21\00:06:04.95
Now, let's go to
our first graphic
00:06:04.98\00:06:06.94
because it gives
about some statistics
00:06:06.97\00:06:08.68
and some numbers
as far as the rate
00:06:08.71\00:06:11.38
of women dying
from different diseases.
00:06:11.41\00:06:15.27
So let's go to our
first graphic at this time
00:06:15.30\00:06:17.12
because these numbers
are simple astounding.
00:06:17.15\00:06:19.74
The leading causes
of death for woman.
00:06:19.77\00:06:23.11
Now, of course
right up at the top
00:06:23.14\00:06:24.83
is heart disease is number one,
00:06:24.86\00:06:28.14
and then stroke is number two,
00:06:28.17\00:06:29.70
so between those two
is almost half a million.
00:06:29.73\00:06:35.04
And then your lung cancer,
00:06:35.07\00:06:37.35
chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, COPD,
00:06:37.38\00:06:40.11
and then breast
cancer is at the bottom
00:06:40.14\00:06:42.16
of this list of 41,000.
00:06:42.19\00:06:44.46
So you see there
that if you combine
00:06:44.49\00:06:47.53
number one and number two,
00:06:47.56\00:06:49.75
heart disease and stroke,
00:06:49.78\00:06:51.53
you're looking at almost
a half million women dying
00:06:51.56\00:06:55.78
from cardiovascular events
just from those right there.
00:06:55.81\00:06:59.63
And so therefore you
can see that this is a topic
00:06:59.66\00:07:02.67
that is disproportionately more
fatal for women than for men,
00:07:02.70\00:07:08.77
and a lot of women
are simply misdiagnosed.
00:07:08.80\00:07:12.89
We'll talk about
that later on as well so.
00:07:12.92\00:07:15.63
But now you have
something else that you read.
00:07:15.66\00:07:17.51
Well, they had a
couple of comments
00:07:17.54\00:07:19.07
that was being made in
here and it was talking about,
00:07:19.10\00:07:20.87
it called it the five
simple choices to make.
00:07:20.90\00:07:23.41
And one of course is that
00:07:23.44\00:07:24.59
of being
empowered, know the facts.
00:07:24.62\00:07:27.02
You know, once again we
just talked about the Go Red.
00:07:27.05\00:07:29.65
You can go online
and get information
00:07:29.68\00:07:31.35
knowing those facts,
the five facts about us
00:07:31.38\00:07:33.71
and heart disease
and how we actually
00:07:33.74\00:07:35.26
have heart attacks and strokes
different from that of men.
00:07:35.29\00:07:38.11
It also talked about
knowing your numbers.
00:07:38.14\00:07:40.10
You know, the one thing that
00:07:40.13\00:07:41.69
I was surprised
at the conferences,
00:07:41.72\00:07:43.28
both conference that we had,
00:07:43.31\00:07:44.85
the Women's Wellness
Week as well as the Heart,
00:07:44.88\00:07:46.60
Million Heart Conference
was that we asked the question,
00:07:46.63\00:07:49.14
how many of you in here know
00:07:49.17\00:07:51.15
your cholesterol
scores, triglycerides scores,
00:07:51.18\00:07:54.56
your LDL, your HDL,
00:07:54.59\00:07:56.23
all those numbers that
deal with the fat levels
00:07:56.26\00:07:58.53
and a lot of them did
not know their numbers.
00:07:58.56\00:08:01.87
And then on top of that
sometime they did the reading
00:08:01.90\00:08:04.70
and they found out their scores,
00:08:04.73\00:08:06.05
the overall cholesterol score,
00:08:06.08\00:08:07.50
we talked about
that before heart disease
00:08:07.53\00:08:09.25
was very, very high.
00:08:09.28\00:08:10.78
But then I said you to go in
00:08:10.81\00:08:12.14
and see what is
your triglyceride level,
00:08:12.17\00:08:13.89
your HDL, your LDL, the HDL,
00:08:13.92\00:08:16.57
high-density lipoprotein.
00:08:16.60\00:08:17.68
These are the good guys.
00:08:17.71\00:08:18.75
We want to have
those numbers up high.
00:08:18.78\00:08:20.53
Back in the day they used to say
00:08:20.56\00:08:22.37
that those numbers were about,
may be 30 you would be okay.
00:08:22.40\00:08:24.96
No, no, no, no,
00:08:24.99\00:08:26.02
now where we are looking
at anything 50 and above,
00:08:26.05\00:08:28.60
okay, for the level.
00:08:28.63\00:08:29.86
And so this can be something
00:08:29.89\00:08:31.17
that can drive a
women's numbers up.
00:08:31.20\00:08:33.49
She might be above the number
where she is supposed to be,
00:08:33.52\00:08:35.71
but when you go
inside the cholesterol
00:08:35.74\00:08:38.10
and look at those
different numbers,
00:08:38.13\00:08:39.82
that's where the
rubber meets the road.
00:08:39.85\00:08:41.25
Okay.
00:08:41.28\00:08:42.35
we also had and this is
also a good critical thing to do
00:08:42.38\00:08:46.14
to if the peripheral arterial
disease better known as PAD.
00:08:46.17\00:08:51.44
Where we went to...
00:08:51.47\00:08:54.40
Crestwood
Hospital in Huntsville,
00:08:54.43\00:08:56.21
and they had a free
screening of the PAD,
00:08:56.24\00:08:58.57
peripheral arterial disease.
00:08:58.60\00:09:00.06
They had a Doppler to deal
00:09:00.09\00:09:01.41
and put in a Doppler on our leg,
00:09:01.44\00:09:04.05
and the doctor came in,
00:09:04.08\00:09:05.78
and you can hear the blood flow
through our veins, our legs.
00:09:05.81\00:09:09.71
He did on both of our
legs and this doctor said
00:09:09.74\00:09:13.53
this is one of the
best legs I have ever seen.
00:09:13.56\00:09:16.10
You guys must be walkers.
00:09:16.13\00:09:17.56
And of course we do walk,
00:09:17.59\00:09:19.07
but again it just tells you that
00:09:19.10\00:09:20.90
by walking on a
consistent basis,
00:09:20.93\00:09:23.17
we increase our blood flow.
00:09:23.20\00:09:24.69
So he says, this is
one of the best legs
00:09:24.72\00:09:27.46
he has ever seen.
00:09:27.49\00:09:29.16
He wasn't trying to heal me,
00:09:29.19\00:09:30.41
just talking from
a medical standpoint.
00:09:30.44\00:09:31.76
No, no, no, no.
00:09:31.79\00:09:32.86
He said, actually it
was both of us in the room.
00:09:32.89\00:09:34.93
Yeah, both of us
were in the room together.
00:09:34.96\00:09:36.47
And then Curtis
being a gentleman
00:09:36.50\00:09:37.85
that he is he said ladies first.
00:09:37.88\00:09:40.31
So he did my legs
first, then he did your legs.
00:09:40.34\00:09:42.83
Then he said,
this are the best legs
00:09:42.86\00:09:44.73
I've ever seen, I
mean, I can't believe it.
00:09:44.76\00:09:46.30
Then he asked us we were walkers
00:09:46.33\00:09:47.70
and he questioned
us, so which means
00:09:47.73\00:09:49.05
that's one of the
other real key points
00:09:49.08\00:09:51.25
that is walking
is another key point.
00:09:51.28\00:09:54.20
Because see one corporate
or cardiovascular disease,
00:09:54.23\00:09:58.99
of course there are
coronary arteries in the heart
00:09:59.02\00:10:01.11
is that if the
arteries are bad in the leg,
00:10:01.14\00:10:04.71
if they're clogged up,
all right, collocation,
00:10:04.74\00:10:08.29
therefore it could
be more likely clog
00:10:08.32\00:10:11.32
in the coronary
arteries in the heart as well.
00:10:11.35\00:10:15.23
So that's the indication.
00:10:15.26\00:10:16.57
If the legs are good,
00:10:16.60\00:10:18.00
arteries are good in
the legs, good circulation,
00:10:18.03\00:10:20.80
more than likely
there's a good circulation
00:10:20.83\00:10:22.32
in the coronary arteries
and also the carotid artery
00:10:22.35\00:10:25.81
'cause every
time the heart beats
00:10:25.84\00:10:27.50
20% of blood goes through
00:10:27.53\00:10:28.91
the carotid artery to the brain.
00:10:28.94\00:10:30.68
So therefore
carotid artery is clogged
00:10:30.71\00:10:33.73
and of course you have a stroke
00:10:33.76\00:10:35.27
with arteries in
the coronary arteries
00:10:35.30\00:10:37.29
that you have heart attack.
00:10:37.32\00:10:38.35
So if the legs are healthy,
00:10:38.38\00:10:40.72
it's a good indication
the arteries in the heart
00:10:40.75\00:10:44.31
and the carotid artery
is also healthy as well,
00:10:44.34\00:10:46.52
so this is a good
way of determining
00:10:46.55\00:10:48.73
one's cardiovascular health.
00:10:48.76\00:10:50.39
One of thing is
really good here too, Curtis,
00:10:50.42\00:10:52.13
and that is
that in our community
00:10:52.16\00:10:54.08
they have the
different health events
00:10:54.11\00:10:55.82
and stuff to come through
00:10:55.85\00:10:57.16
and of course by it's
being a self supported ministry
00:10:57.19\00:10:59.84
which means we'll follow 1C3
00:10:59.87\00:11:01.56
and we eat from
God's hand to our mouth,
00:11:01.59\00:11:04.45
so that means that
when it comes to insurances
00:11:04.48\00:11:06.24
and stuff like that,
we used to have a issue
00:11:06.27\00:11:08.72
because we did not
have it at that time.
00:11:08.75\00:11:10.61
And so along with that
when these different things
00:11:10.64\00:11:12.46
came in like the free screenings
00:11:12.49\00:11:14.27
that come into communities,
00:11:14.30\00:11:15.70
we were always
there for free screening
00:11:15.73\00:11:17.23
and this one here,
00:11:17.26\00:11:18.31
it had to with
the legs and veins,
00:11:18.34\00:11:19.70
it was a free screening so.
00:11:19.73\00:11:21.25
Check it out in
your neighborhood.
00:11:21.28\00:11:22.40
Okay, now, what we're
going to do first, people.
00:11:22.43\00:11:25.36
We really need to
zero in on the symptoms
00:11:25.39\00:11:30.01
of heart attack and the symptoms
00:11:30.04\00:11:34.33
of a stroke for women not men,
00:11:34.36\00:11:39.13
for women
because this is Go Red.
00:11:39.16\00:11:44.03
So our focus is on women
and cardiovascular health.
00:11:44.06\00:11:49.16
Therefore the
symptoms are not the same,
00:11:49.19\00:11:52.30
some are similar
but then these symptoms
00:11:52.33\00:11:55.29
may not be as, you
know, prevalent in men
00:11:55.32\00:11:58.99
but they are more
prevalent in women.
00:11:59.02\00:12:00.34
So let's go to screen.
00:12:00.37\00:12:01.44
Let's look at
some of the symptoms
00:12:01.47\00:12:02.85
that women can experience
00:12:02.88\00:12:03.92
as far as heart
attack is concern.
00:12:03.95\00:12:06.95
All right, the warning signs.
00:12:06.98\00:12:08.32
Number one, now we
all hear and see the,
00:12:08.35\00:12:11.68
you know, they typical
00:12:11.71\00:12:13.21
someone grabbing
their chest, chest pain.
00:12:13.24\00:12:15.21
Okay, we get that men and women.
00:12:15.24\00:12:17.57
But what you may not
know that women in particular
00:12:17.60\00:12:21.96
also experience
or can experience
00:12:21.99\00:12:24.59
shortness of breath.
00:12:24.62\00:12:26.35
Folks, we are talking about
weeks before a heart attack,
00:12:26.38\00:12:31.01
shortness of breath.
00:12:31.04\00:12:32.57
Sweating, nausea/vomiting.
00:12:32.60\00:12:36.57
Nausea, those who of
course in United States
00:12:36.60\00:12:38.78
know about Rosie O' Donnell,
00:12:38.81\00:12:41.18
popular actor here
who has been reported
00:12:41.21\00:12:43.76
to have nausea and vomiting,
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.79
regurgitation several weeks
00:12:45.82\00:12:48.47
before she had her
heart attack in 2012.
00:12:48.50\00:12:51.23
So we're not talking about days
00:12:51.26\00:12:52.95
but sometimes weeks of
nausea, of vomiting, fatigue.
00:12:52.98\00:12:57.15
Look at this, jaw and neck pain.
00:12:57.18\00:13:01.58
This is not typical in men,
but it can be typical in women.
00:13:01.61\00:13:06.46
And what happens with
the jaw pain and neck pain,
00:13:06.49\00:13:08.72
sometimes the heart...
00:13:08.75\00:13:10.94
does not give a
signal that is stress,
00:13:10.97\00:13:14.22
therefore the pain irradiates
into jaw and the neck.
00:13:14.25\00:13:19.43
This can be days even
weeks before a heart attack.
00:13:19.46\00:13:24.15
I remember one
cardiovascular doctor
00:13:24.18\00:13:27.69
mention that she had a
patient that every time
00:13:27.72\00:13:30.72
she walked on
treadmill, her jaw hurt.
00:13:30.75\00:13:34.81
When she got off the
treadmill, the jaw stop hurting,
00:13:34.84\00:13:38.12
she went on
treadmill again, the jaw hurt.
00:13:38.15\00:13:41.04
And lo and behold she
says later on that woman
00:13:41.07\00:13:43.89
actually experienced a
heart attack, so jaw pain.
00:13:43.92\00:13:46.95
And this is something
that women simply overlook
00:13:46.98\00:13:50.63
that we need to understand
00:13:50.66\00:13:51.93
that this is one of the symptoms
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.66
of becoming a
heart attack victim,
00:13:53.69\00:13:57.40
heart attacks and
strokes, all right.
00:13:57.43\00:13:59.40
Now, I want to say
something about strokes,
00:13:59.43\00:14:01.78
that's heart attack strokes.
00:14:01.81\00:14:03.60
Johns Hopkins they
did a survey of over,
00:14:03.63\00:14:07.37
just over 1000 hospitals
00:14:07.40\00:14:11.03
incorporating
about 187,000 patients
00:14:11.06\00:14:14.91
as far as strokes were concerned
00:14:14.94\00:14:17.91
not heart attacks but strokes.
00:14:17.94\00:14:19.87
They determined that
two of the main symptoms
00:14:19.90\00:14:24.99
of a stroke, two symptoms
00:14:25.02\00:14:27.72
that most people
misdiagnosed going to the ER,
00:14:27.75\00:14:31.65
they had
dizziness and headaches.
00:14:31.68\00:14:35.20
And determine that
some of those people
00:14:35.23\00:14:37.00
were turned away, send back home
00:14:37.03\00:14:40.71
because they thought,
oh, she has a migraine
00:14:40.74\00:14:42.60
or just chronic fatigue syndrome
00:14:42.63\00:14:44.80
and within 7 days
a lot of those people
00:14:44.83\00:14:48.60
actually had to stroke who
were sent home misdiagnosed
00:14:48.63\00:14:53.13
and those two symptoms
was dizziness and headache.
00:14:53.16\00:14:57.42
So those are also some
symptoms of stroke as well,
00:14:57.45\00:15:01.16
because women's
vessels are smaller than men.
00:15:01.19\00:15:04.18
So we need to be
mindful that these symptoms
00:15:04.21\00:15:06.77
that we may not be
mindful about once we know that
00:15:06.80\00:15:09.62
and beware of that
that we should make
00:15:09.65\00:15:11.27
those rightful
decisions right away.
00:15:11.30\00:15:13.78
Well, you know,
sometimes, ladies,
00:15:13.81\00:15:14.93
we get so busy with
stuff going on with our family
00:15:14.96\00:15:17.25
and our neighbors and
running hither thither
00:15:17.28\00:15:19.53
and yon that even
when things start up,
00:15:19.56\00:15:22.33
we just ignore it.
00:15:22.36\00:15:24.24
I've often heard a story
that we will get to the point
00:15:24.27\00:15:26.81
where we get so sick
until we don't even ask
00:15:26.84\00:15:30.09
anybody to take
us to the hospital.
00:15:30.12\00:15:31.85
We just get in the
car and go our self
00:15:31.88\00:15:33.69
have a heart attack of stroke
on our way to the hospital.
00:15:33.72\00:15:36.59
So when things happen,
00:15:36.62\00:15:37.81
when you're feeling that stress,
00:15:37.84\00:15:38.99
when you're feeling that pain,
00:15:39.02\00:15:40.05
you're feeling
the stuff in your jaw,
00:15:40.08\00:15:41.54
you know go to the hospital.
00:15:41.57\00:15:43.15
We also say dial 911
or get to the hospital
00:15:43.18\00:15:47.32
because that can actually
save your life, you know.
00:15:47.35\00:15:49.66
And I think that
whole thing of talking about
00:15:49.69\00:15:51.83
the different ways we experience
00:15:51.86\00:15:53.29
heart attacks
and stroke is so key.
00:15:53.32\00:15:55.50
And of course, you
know, more information,
00:15:55.53\00:15:56.93
now of course
our show is so short,
00:15:56.96\00:15:58.66
but more information
about Go Red is out there,
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.96
also the women's
initiative is out there as well
00:16:00.99\00:16:04.24
and so what other things
do can we talk about that
00:16:04.27\00:16:07.20
actually can
help us here as well.
00:16:07.23\00:16:09.10
Well, there is
one key thing that
00:16:09.13\00:16:11.25
we can talk about finishing
up on this topic right here
00:16:11.28\00:16:14.05
when it comes to, particularly
it comes to women is--
00:16:14.08\00:16:17.58
Well, let's just
go to the screen.
00:16:17.61\00:16:18.76
Let just talk about this.
00:16:18.79\00:16:20.17
I want to read
this and we gonna expand
00:16:20.20\00:16:21.76
on this right here.
00:16:21.79\00:16:23.25
The Stress Factor!
This is a Mayo Clinic.
00:16:23.28\00:16:26.28
This is profound ladies.
00:16:26.31\00:16:28.22
"Stress is the
strongest risk factor
00:16:28.25\00:16:35.05
predicting
future cardiac events."
00:16:35.08\00:16:39.29
Stress, now we can
talk a whole program
00:16:39.32\00:16:42.10
just on stress itself.
00:16:42.13\00:16:44.34
Sometimes women
do a lot of things
00:16:44.37\00:16:46.28
and too much on their plate,
00:16:46.31\00:16:47.97
not taking time
off for themselves.
00:16:48.00\00:16:50.03
They're taking care of
all the other family members
00:16:50.06\00:16:52.57
but themselves causes stress,
00:16:52.60\00:16:55.04
a lack of sleep,
all these things impact
00:16:55.07\00:16:58.72
the central nervous
system, the heart muscle,
00:16:58.75\00:17:02.11
therefore you got the symptoms.
00:17:02.14\00:17:03.66
If we're not
aware of those symptoms
00:17:03.69\00:17:05.68
then sometime we
just forget about
00:17:05.71\00:17:07.84
oh, I'm, just
having a little headache
00:17:07.87\00:17:09.31
or little pain in
the jaw, in the neck
00:17:09.34\00:17:11.90
and you know, eventually
it may be a heart attack
00:17:11.93\00:17:15.98
or the dizziness, headache
00:17:16.01\00:17:17.63
or just a
light, slight headache,
00:17:17.66\00:17:19.54
little dizziness little
bit, may be it's vertical
00:17:19.57\00:17:22.15
because some ER doctors
misdiagnose this as vertical.
00:17:22.18\00:17:27.96
Absolutely.
00:17:27.99\00:17:29.04
And sent the women home.
00:17:29.07\00:17:31.40
Some within 48 hours
actually had a stroke,
00:17:31.43\00:17:35.69
so therefore we need
to be mindful of that.
00:17:35.72\00:17:37.79
Well, it's lot we can talk about
00:17:37.82\00:17:38.89
on this subject once again too
00:17:38.92\00:17:40.15
