Female vs. Male CHD

Female vs. Male CHD

CHD may have different effects on women and men. Men tend to have strong chest pain. Women may feel a sense of oppression or pressure on their chests, but they may feel uncomfortable like when the meal does not fit well. They tend to be very tired often, making shortness of breath and nausea more likely. These differences are due to the fact that women tend to obstruct the smaller arteries of the heart.
