SYMPTOMS OF HEART BLOCKAGES IN FEMALES.

         SYMPTOMS OF HEART BLOCKAGES IN FEMALES.



Heart blockages in females can manifest through a variety of signs and symptoms, which may sometimes be subtle or atypical compared to those experienced by men. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial for timely intervention and management.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chest pain (angina) When the heart does not get enough oxygen due to blocked coronary arteries, a woman may experience chest pain, pressure, or tightness, usually in the middle or left side of the chest.

  • Pain in other areas Discomfort might extend to the arms, shoulder, jaw, or neck, potentially signaling a heart attack due to a severely blocked coronary artery. Some women describe upper back pressure that feels like squeezing.

  • Shortness of breath This can occur with or without chest discomfort.

  • Fatigue Unusual tiredness and weakness can be indicative of heart issues. Ongoing feelings of weakness can prevent you from doing your normal tasks.

  • Sweating This may present as a sudden onset of cold sweats.

  • Lightheadedness/dizziness Feeling lightheaded or dizzy may point to a problem with the heart's blood supply.

  • Nausea or vomiting Some women may experience nausea or vomiting.

  • Anxiety Some women may experience anxiety.

  • Heartburn/Indigestion Heartburn-like symptoms can also occur.

It's important to note that symptoms can be intermittent and may not always be easily recognized. Some individuals might not experience any symptoms, while others have mild to severe ones, which can intensify as the condition progresses. Women are also more likely than men to experience chest pain during rest or daily activities, rather than during exercise. They're also more likely than men to feel chest pain from mental stress. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Uncovering the Hidden Causes of Malaria.

 Malaria is caused by the **Plasmodium parasite**, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected **female Anopheles mosquito**. There are several species of Plasmodium that can cause malaria, with **Plasmodium falciparum** being the most dangerous. Here are the main causes and contributing factors of malaria: 1. **Plasmodium Parasite**: The primary cause of malaria is infection by Plasmodium species, specifically:    - *Plasmodium falciparum* (most severe form)    - *Plasmodium vivax*     - *Plasmodium ovale*    - *Plasmodium malariae*    - *Plasmodium knowlesi* (less common) 2. **Mosquito Bite**: Malaria is spread through the bite of an infected **female Anopheles mosquito**, which serves as the vector for transmitting the Plasmodium parasite to humans. When a mosquito bites an infected person, it picks up the parasite, which develops in the mosquito and is later transmitted to another person when the mosquito...

 SADC Malaria Day is an annual observance held by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to raise awareness about the fight against malaria in the region. The day is dedicated to promoting efforts to control and eliminate malaria, sharing information on prevention methods, and highlighting the progress made in reducing malaria cases and deaths in Southern Africa. The SADC Malaria Day serves as a platform for governments, health organizations, and communities in the region to work together to combat the disease. Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in many parts of Southern Africa, and the day emphasizes the importance of continued efforts toward prevention, treatment, and research.  Each year, the observance may focus on a specific theme or priority action, aligned with global or regional malaria strategies. For example, themes could involve promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets, indoor spraying, access to antimalarial treatment, and malaria...
