Dr. Khaled Al-Nimr, a consultant cardiologist, warns to shed light on a very important issue: the effect of psychological stress on heart health in women.
Studies show that women are the group most affected by psychological stress, and this can cause an increased risk of clots. Dr. Al-Nimr confirms that women are exposed to strokes at a rate of up to 9 times more compared to men in contexts related to psychological stress.
Prevention and early detection
To prevent these risks, Dr. Al-Nimr recommends the importance of performing regular checks for sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, in addition to heart tests every six months. This step is especially important for people who face frequent psychological stress.
It is important to recognize symptoms that may indicate a heart problem. Dr. Al-Nimr stresses that symptoms such as pain in the middle of the chest, palpitations, dullness, or even fainting should be taken seriously. In these cases, the concerned person must visit a doctor for early examination and diagnosis.

The effect of psychological factors on heart health
Mental health cannot be separated from physical health, especially when it comes to heart disease. Psychological stress, as Dr. Al-Nimr confirms, has a direct and strong impact on heart health. This requires all of us, especially women, to take these risks seriously and strive to manage psychological stress in a healthy and effective way.
The importance of health awareness in this context cannot be underestimated. There must be continuous efforts to educate women regarding the dangers of psychological stress on heart health. Family and community support is also necessary to encourage women to take preventive steps and consult doctors when needed.
