	Heart health is a year-round goal . Did you know? When a woman experiences a panic attack, her body reacts by producing the same stress hormones produced during a heart attack. This is because both panic and heart attacks trigger the body's "fight or flight" response. But there are differences in the symptoms as well. If the symptoms last for more than two or three minutes or the pain leaves and then returns, it could be a heart attack. Moreover, if you have chest pain, discomfort that lasts for more than a few minutes, difficulty breathing or other symptoms which seem life-threatening, call 911. Regardless, if you have any symptoms which cause you concern see your doctor without delay. Newer tests can diagnose a heart attack more quickly and accurately. And heart disease is the number one killer of women age 35 and older. We recognize February as American Heart Month--but we know we must protect our "heart health" all year long. .
