Is your bra too tight on your back? Then you might be dangerously ill

I am rather small-breasted so I am not familiar with the phenomenon, but apparently it exists among many women: kicking your shoes into the corner and pulling off that bra. A feeling of ‘the day is over, now Netflix and chill’. But there can be great danger lurking in this need. Many women feel tension between their shoulder blades and that can indicate a heart condition.

Heart conditions in women
Did you know that more women die from a heart condition than from breast cancer? And that 53 women die from heart problems compared to 50 men? It is therefore a big problem. A problem that is not recognized quickly because we have very different symptoms than men.

Shoulder pain, jaw pain, and fatigue? Check!
Do you have pain between your shoulder blades, are you suddenly much more fatigued, and do you have issues with your jaws? Make an appointment with a cardiologist because these are serious indicators of heart problems. Women usually do not have clogged heart arteries, no, they have small tears. Angioplasty does not help women, on the contrary.

So pay attention to that bra
For years, research has only been done on the male heart. Because the female heart ‘indicates’ that something is wrong in a very different way, many cardiologists do not interpret women's complaints correctly. Pain between your shoulder blades, as if your bra is too tight, is one of those indicators. Comparable to chest pain in men.

So pay attention and ignore nothing.
