Signs of a Heart Attack:

Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness.
As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. However, women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.

If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help. Call 9-1-1…Get to a hospital right away.

Stroke
Stroke is the No. 3 cause of death in America. It’s also a significant cause of severe, long-term disability. Stroke and TIA (transient ischemic attack) happen when a blood vessel feeding the brain gets clogged or bursts. The signs of a TIA are like a stroke but usually last only a few minutes. If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help.

Call 9-1-1 to get help if you have any of these, but remember that not all warning signs occur in every stroke.

Marci and I had a girl’s morning out today with Mini Me and Baby Sissy. We were invited to Mimi’s Cafe to help spread the word about Women’s Heart Disease. Once we arrived, we were seated right away, considering how crowded their parking lot looked. Our server also waited on us promptly. Only after he took our order did Marci ask about the soup promotion. I don’t know if he forgot to mention it, but he didn’t bring it up. So make sure you ask for your soup if you are wearing red! Marci went with tomato basil and said that it was perfect. I went with corn chowder, which was very hot and delicious!

We did receive our meals rather quickly. We were on a tight schedule (we took more time than expected at the scrapbook store), so I was thankful for the quick service this time. I took my family back in November; you can read about my past Mimi’s Holiday Feast Post to see other entree choices. For our meals, we both went with the lunch combo, salads, and sandwiches. Both were very good. I would get my turkey sandwich again.

On our way out, I had to pick up some muffins to take home. I went with the Red Velvet with white icing. Marci chose a Banana Chocolate Chip for Mini Me and a Blueberry Muffin, which looked good! I am saving mine for after dinner tonight—that’s if they last until then!
