## Resource

Could the fatigue you keep explaining away actually be your body trying to tell you something? In this episode, I sit down with women's health expert and cardiovascular advocate Dr. Jayne Morgan to uncover the critical, often overlooked signs of heart disease in women. We dive deep into why atypical symptoms like constant fatigue and unexplained jaw pain are frequently normalized or misdiagnosed, potentially leaving women vulnerable to silent heart attacks. I want to empower you to take total control of your wellness by understanding how hormonal shifts during perimenopause impact your arteries, and which essential baseline tests you need to demand from your doctor. (00:00) Unusual fatigue can be one of the most overlooked heart symptoms in women. (01:39) How to tell the difference between normal tiredness and fatigue that deserves medical attention. (02:29) Getting winded during normal activities, like walking upstairs, can be a sign to pay attention. (03:14) Some women discover years later that they had a silent heart attack. (04:03) Unexplained jaw pain should not always be treated as a dental issue. (05:35) Women’s smaller hearts, smaller vessels, and estrogen changes affect heart attack symptoms. (07:18) Blood pressure can rise as arteries become stiffer during hormonal shifts. (08:23) Dr. Morgan recommends women get a baseline EKG while they are healthy.
