Why women are more at risk of heart disease?

Former Miss World Sushmita Sen recently suffered from a heart attack. The actress said it herself through social media. He had a 95 percent blockage in his arteries. A quick angioplasty was performed and two stents were placed.

Coming to Instagram Live, Sushmita said, don't be afraid if you have a heart attack. It can happen regardless of men and women. However, prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential.

After menopause, there is an imbalance in the estrogen hormone in the body. Due to which the possibility of coronary artery disease increases. During pregnancy, there are various hormonal changes in the body. There is also pressure on women's bodies. Later on there is a possibility that the blood pressure will increase. That is why the incidence of heart disease is high among women.

And so if there is a problem like shortness of breath even after a little more effort, then it is necessary to be careful from the beginning. Along with that, blood pressure and diabetes should be checked regularly.

Also 30 minutes of physical exercise should be done every day. Along with eating nutritious food, walking and exercise are very important.

Sushmita said on her Instagram live that day, daily gym has helped save her life. He also sleeps 6-8 hours regularly, eats healthy food - which helped him recover from such a major heart attack.
