MARCH MAY AUGUST NOVEMBER
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of āNegro History Week,ā the brainchild of noted historianĀ Carter G. WoodsonĀ and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has oļ¬cially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.

FebruaryĀ is American Heart Month, a time when all people can focus on their cardiovascular health. The Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention is shining a light on hypertension (high blood pressure), a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
Know Your Numbers:
High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because you canāt generally feel if you have it. But you may have warning signs that you write oļ¬ as stress. Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year! Find resources to manage your blood pressure from @TheHeartTruth: www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hypertension.
According to the America Heart Association, more than one in three women is living with some form of cardiovascular disease. For women, heart disease is deadlier than most cancers combined! Heart disease and stroke cause one in three deaths among women each year.
What are heart attack symptoms in women?
Women tend to present different types of pain during an acute heart attack compared to men.
āItās more difficult in women to identify heart disease,ā said Dr. Hagau. āWe used to think women were more protected from heart disease until menopause due to estrogen production, but we are seeing younger and younger women who are coming in with heart disease or having heart attacks.ā Here are a few differences in heart attack symptoms to watch for:
āPain during sleep
āSudden onset of extreme fatigue
āDrenching sweat
āElbow and neck pain
āShortness of breath
āNausea or vomiting
āDizziness
āTightness in chest
āBreathlessness
Here are some changes you can make today:
o Follow a heart healthy diet
o Exercise regularly
o Quit smoking
o Know your A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol and weight
o Know your family history
o Monitor your alcohol intake
o Take your prescribed medications
o Monitor your stress levels
The following organizations are good resources for information on heart disease:
ā American Heart Association --Ā www.heart.org
ā Centers for Disease Control and Prevention --Ā www.cdc.gov/heartdisease
ā National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute --Ā www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/education-and-awareness/heart-truth
ā Oļ¬ce on Women's Health, womenshealth.gov --Ā www.womenshealth.gov/heart-disease-and-stroke
