As women approach their 40s, their bodies go through many changes as the signs and symptoms leading up to menopause begin to flash. This natural step in the aging process marks the end of the reproductive years. 

Here are five symptoms every woman in her mid-40s and older should take seriously.

Chronic fatigue

Research finds that in the weeks preceding a heart attack, the most common symptom for women is unusual fatigue.

Hot flashes 

Sudden intense flushing and sweating in the upper body especially the face, neck, and chest is a normal and frequent experience for women approaching and in menopause. But excessive and severe hot flashes may indicate something isn’t right.

Depression

Our emotional health is intrinsically tied to our physical health. Therefore, it’s not surprising that  women with  depression  have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease later in life compared to men.Shortness of breath 

After fatigue and sleep problems, shortness of breath is the most common heart attack warning sign in women.

Migraines

 Migraines are  three times more common  in women than men. They can be crippling, so it’s not surprising that they’re the fourth leading cause of disability in women.
