An Interview With a Woman Living With Heart Disease: Mary Eriksmoen

​​​Answers for all questions given in the question:-

Mary Eriksmoen, 53 years old

1. For her, it started a little over a year ago.
When she would walk up thes she felt a pain in the middle upper part of her chest. It radiated into her jaw. She later learned this was called angina, and it meant her heart wasn't getting enough blood. She was also getting headaches. The jaw pain was the worst, though.

2.0 years earlier, her mom also had heart bypass surgery.

3. She used some anticoagulants..etc. And then , Mary had successful triple bypass heart surgery.

4. She've been watching what she eat. The biggest struggle she's having since her surgery is quitting smoking. She know she need to. She didn't smoke for three to four weeks after the surgery, but shw just started again and she shouldn't have.
She also went to cardiac rehab three times a week for 12 weeks. She used exercise equipment, like recumbent cross trainers, stationary bikes, and weights. While she exercised, her heart was being monitored. She also spoke with a dietitian.
Her back limits her ability to get the exercise she need for a healthier heart, so one of the things she do now is go to the hydrotherapy pool at the hospital. She go about twice a week, and it helps with both her back and heart. For other women out there who can't exercise due to a disability of any kind, the hydrotherapy is a good alternative. From her understanding, the pool takes off a lot of the pressure on our joints and lets do exercises that we can't do on land.

5. Just listen to your body. For a long time, you've been felt that, as a female, doctors would just say, “It's all in your head.” But one thing you've learned is your body was telling you something was wrong. U just needed to listen to it. If you think there is something wrong, you should get help right away.
You also encourage women to pay attention to health public service announcements on TV and the radio. Pay attention because it could make the difference between life and death.
I think women need to understand the signs of heart disease. You can have an issue with your heart even if you don't have the crushing chest pain we often associate with a heart attack. Also, I think it's important women understand that their heart attack symptoms are different than men's, and if they experience any of the symptoms, they should call 911.

Thank you Madam for your time.
