Long before you take your first breath, your heart is already pumping. By around 5–6 weeks into pregnancy, the embryonic heart begins to beat. From that early start, it never stops, pumping oxygen and nutrients through your body day after day. Take a moment to appreciate your heart today! Care for it and celebrate every beat that keeps you alive. THIS DECEMBER, BE KIND TO YOUR HEART ❤️

HEART 101: The most common heart attack symptom is some type of chest pain, pressure or discomfort. But some heart attack symptoms in women can differ from those in men, which leads to women being more frequently misdiagnosed. Women are more likely than men to have shortness of breath, vomiting, and back or jaw pain.‼️ Know your risk and learn the signs. Early awareness can save lives. THIS DECEMBER, BE KIND TO YOUR HEART ❤️
