Word's getting around though,

I just got this email from my father's cousin:

We need to be aware that women's heart attack symptoms can differ greatly from those of men.

In the movies, a man clutches his chest and falls to the floor, doubled over in pain.

Women's symptoms tend to be less dramatic, and can include one or more of the following:

*Nausea
*Indigestion-like pains
*Shortness of breath
*Dizziness
*Pain in the neck that radiates to the arm or back
*Excessive fatigue
*A general sense of disorientation
*Sweating

These symptoms may subside or disappear completely--only to return with a vengeance a few hours later.

As many women die each year from heart attacks as do men. If in doubt, dial 911. Your life could depend on it.

Thanks for the link. I like the red dress pin, myself, my coloring makes wearing red problematical. Orangey-red hair and fair skin...red isn't a real option. But the pin is. I just wish my printer had ink in it right now to print off the pattern....
