I'm really loving this pump! So quick and easy to use. Small so I can cart it around in my pocket if I wanted. And efficient, i've not been able to pump this much in one sitting in a long time!

February is Heart Health Awareness Month.

Heart attack warning signs can include heaviness, tightness, pressure, discomfort or pain in your chest, shoulder, jaw, arm, neck, mid-back, sometimes accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, or dizziness.

It is possible to have a 'silent' heart attack, where you do not experience pain or where the only warning sign may be an indigestion type of discomfort. This is most common in women or people with diabetes. It is medically referred to as silent ischemia (lack of oxygen) to the heart muscle.

Heart attack symptoms in women:
Women may have different heart attack symptoms than men. This is possibly because women are more likely to have blockages, not only in their main coronary arteries, but also in the tiny coronary artery blood vessels that branch off from the main ones. This is called microvascular coronary disease.

Heart attack symptoms can be subtle in women, which is why it's important to know what to look out for.

You can find some great resources at the Heart Foundation website https://www.heartfoundation.org.nz/your-heart/heart-attack-warning-signs

If you or someone you are with thinks they may be having a heart attack CALL 111 and ask for an ambulance.
