She was sent home with paracetamol. Two hours later, she was found dead on her kitchen floor. She was 31, a fit and healthy dance teacher. Needless to say, her husband sued the NHS trust…eventually settling out of court. 12 years on, misdiagnosis is still costing patient lives. RIP Nadia.

Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, such as: Neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back or upper belly discomfort.

In fact, heart attacks can cause other symptoms that usually happen with GERD, such as nausea, burping, and vomiting usually for women more then men.

That "strong feeling that something is wrong" is actually a common symptom of heart attack! It's called a sense of impending doom. I've never felt it, so it seems really unprecise, but it's fascinating that most people feel it and we can classify it as a valid symptom. Hope you're doing okay now!

What's funny is I'm a woman but my severe ADHD symptoms are pretty much textbook, and the textbook definition is primarily based off of symptoms in boys.

The only disruptive behaviors I had was difficulty waiting and asking tons of questions

@snoopygonewilder Год назад

I was a super-hyper child... which is a symptoms mostly attributed to boys with ADHD. I had abysmal grades even though i had a deep want to do well in school, and got in a lot of trouble for being distracted, and for distracting others. Unfortunately for me I was in grade school in the 90s, so when my mom tried to get me help in 6th grade (around '95) they just told her I needed to learn to pay attention. Not sure if boys were already getting help for ADHD in 90s, but I sure didn't get any until college (mid-2000s)

@BabyRainbow03 Год назад

Not only ADHD but autism as well. A large percentage of girls don't get diagnosed until late adolescence or even later unless they have a comorbid intellectual disability. Some women don't end up getting diagnosed until their 30s or 40s. There is a myth that autism is more common in boys but it's been speculated that the number is actually closer to being 50/50. There is a diagnosis and treatment disparity for women. Most often this is due to it being only studied on boys and the way the girls present is completely different therefore they slip through the cracks.

I pinched a nerve in my shoulder and the whole left side of my face and upper body went numb and tingly. My face felt like ants were under my skin. Weird pressure on my jaw. When I got to the ER suspecting I might have a stroke or heart attack I was told this was a side effect of my pregnancy. I had to literally beg in tears like a street dog for them to even do any tests. How is tingly face a symptom of pregnancy? I don't know 😒 Finally someone made me lift my arms all the way and I nearly passed out from the pain.

@@KirisutonoNeko to be fair, if dr's weren't peddling it like some weight loss drug miracle it wouldn't be an issue with the shortage. The FDA approved Ozempic for diabetes NOT weight loss.

The insurance companies and coupon card companies already have their rules in place and need diagnosis codes based off of the FDA approval.

Chest pain was minimal, in the beginning it felt like I was trying to carry my much larger husband( and later both of my nearly teenage children as well) up hill in a backpack.

Class drugs came out recently (expensive though 😅), and can manage diabetes just as well as Ozempic and is favourable if you have cardiovascular risk and kidney risk in many patients dependent on the specific SGLT2i drug and both of these drugs are used in combination with Metformin which has so much data behind it. It sucks to say this but some people just need Wegovy to lose weight man, and if that means using OZEMPIC off label, they have medical needs too. Unless you’re specifically talking about the Karen’s and ultra rich ppl who wanna lose weight as a fad and whatnot, but I’ve been practically begging my doctor to put me on either an SGLT2i or a GIP/GLP-1 (the Wegovy classes), simply because it’s indicated for my level of obesity, and I am prediabetic and I want to not have a hemoglobin A1C of a trillion percent.

@@kimrobb1965wait until you realize there are more options on diabetes management pharmacologically than there are pharmacological ways to manage obesity. 😱wow there is an equally effective class of ‘kidney drugs’ called SGLT2 inhibitors that make you lose weight AND helps diabetes by essentially making you pee all your sugar out! Wow. It’s almost like OZEMPIC ISNT YOUR ONLY OPTION. 😮😮😮😮

Thank you for your words. As a nurse, I am faced with the challenge of trying to convince my acquaintances that this method of weight loss can be very detrimental…

@cosmicblueberry Год назад

Once I went to my college health center because I was experiencing ongoing chest pain. Even though they said that it was probably nothing serious, they still insisted on getting me an ekg just to make sure I didn’t have a more serious underlying condition. As expected, I was just suffering from anxiety.

If it’s not what its intended use is then tell the FDA to take off those indications for Wegovy and Zepbound for weight loss then…Also, on these GLP-1 agonists and dual GIP/GLP-1 medications, the “heartburn” that people report is most likely due to dyspepsia and gastroparesis.

Dr. Mike thanks for taking a question about a stupid and harmful vanity trend and bringing it back around the real need for health care equity at the clinical study level. I felt like you took a kind of waste of your time question and turned it into a “pay attention this is important” answer. That is some very good media training!

I saw a doctor recently verifying that severe menstrual cramps are actually equivalent to a cardiac arrest. Maybe, which is why the women are unable to identify the difference and bears it all. P. S. Not denying the statement here at all. Just adding something, I thought might be possible too.

@Eet0saurus Год назад

Indeed. A lot of women have said the heart problems were less painful than the menstrual cramps. It makes me wonder why people still say it is normal to suffer every month

@melanie1825 Год назад

@Eet0saurus I found out that viagara was studied briefly as a treatment for dysmenorrhea- painful periods, with good results and funding for the research was scrapped because it was not considered an important enough area of research. As someone with a dysmenorrhea diagnosis, I can confidently say that research would have been life changing. I spend 2-3 days a month bleeding so heavily and in so much pain that I throw up. Told to just take advil or go on birth control.

@@melanie1825 No wayy. I don't have the right words to express what I feel after reading this. I probably don't have dysmenorrhoea, but I do spend this kind of worst pain of at least 6-7 days in a year, throwing up, passing out, on the edge till where I genuinely thought that I'll be taking my last breaths. And to go through this every month, more specifically knowing that there could've been something to help, yet now it's just a regular thing. Way More Power To You, Girl! 🙌🏼❤️

@melanie1825 Год назад

@@iffahbintenajam9143 thank you. Surprisingly, male doctors have been kinder to me about the pain than female doctors. My old OBGYN was a woman and when I described what I went through she literally said to me "you're a woman, pain is to be expected" and gave no treatment. Funnily enough, that woman inserted my IUD later that year and somehow "forgot" to inform me that I should take over the counter pain medication before hand. She continued with the proceedure without giving me anything. Surprisingly it didnt hurt me too much but I think thats cause I'm so accustome to pain because Ive heard other women get one inserted without pain meds and they describe basically almost passing out or even crying from the pain.

@nellecarrero3671 Год назад

I read an article saying that the people who are using ozempic strictly for weight loss are now having issues with pooping because the medicine is stopping the stomach from digesting and moving the bowels it’s basically paralyzing the stomach 🤷🏾‍♀️

@riyannjot8488 6 месяцев назад

Preach Dr.Mike! This is how my mom passed away, the doctors failed to diagnose her properly took too long and they failed to act in time to remove the clot she had in her lung. She walked into that ER and came out in a body bag. Something has to be done for women’s health or this will keep happening

@Cuddlingus Год назад

im a person on ozempic (my a1c was 5.6 and i was 376lbs) and i fully agree. every story i hear from people who ARENT diabetic, they dont lose weight or have really bad problems on it

@bandiceet Год назад

An interesting comment. My cardiologist made the comment of putting me on it due my weight (this is after i got my blood sugar count down from averaging 7.5 down to 5.2). I need to find out how people who are on it are finding it.

This and most importantly as someone who's insulin resistant and takes metformin, these drugs, they're correcting something that's wrong with your body. When someone who doesn't have the intended issue takes it, it might be causing a correction that's not needed at all and while it might seem okay now, it will only show how it screwed up your system when it's too late.

@jaybrooks1098 Месяц назад

the doc is right. My wife was giving the same complaints and she was having a heart attack but they kept missing it. Her primary care doc knew what it was and tested the blood and she was saved.

@jamiefrontiera1671 Год назад

my grandmother died from her heart attack. she had Parkinson's disease as well, so even the normal symptoms like pain were being masked by the Parkinson's. my grandpa noticed that she was acting weird and called my aunt, who is a nurse, who told him to take her to a hospital.

@nitukaushal2037 Год назад

Agree. Also some doctors refuse to do blood test for Uric Acid because they say “ it’s only high in men”

@jordanvictoria5 Месяц назад

I’m glad they brought this up and hopefully no one got hurt trying to lose weight because it’s hard to drop weight. I don’t even know how many weight loss plans that exist to help people loose weight and they don’t all work. Please don’t risk your health trying to fit in clothes you wore when you were 18 and had not given childbirth. Find your healthy weight and BMI. Learn to love your body and eat more unprocessed food. Concentrate on eating better not just cutting things out.

Same with Autism and ADHD mostly being studied in males. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 20 and it turned out that things I'd never thought twice about were signs of ADHD in girls.

@JulieSpicer Год назад

Yep. I have very severe ADHD that my mom spotted when I was just a toddler. She could tell something was wrong, but everyone kept saying “wait until she’s older.” In elementary school I was evaluated and was told it was “borderline ADHD” (which isn’t a thing) because I didn’t display all the symptoms on their checklist. They still gave me meds to try which either didn’t work or had bad side effects. So the psychiatrist or whoever just gave up. I wasn’t formally diagnosed until high school. Now as an adult, I’m looking into an autism diagnosis because though there’s a bit of overlap in ADHD and autism symptoms, some things just aren’t adding up for me and I would feel better if I knew more.
