The Menopause Heart Doctor Reveals the 3 Warning Signs Doctors Dismiss

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet most of us still think of it as a “man’s disease.” Symptoms like fatigue, jaw pain, nausea, or palpitations are too often brushed off as stress, anxiety, or just “normal aging.” The result? Women wait longer to get care, and their first heart attack is more likely to be fatal.

Dr. Jayne Morgan, leading cardiologist and researcher, joins Tamsen to explain the real connection between menopause and cardiovascular risk, and why it’s time for women to take their symptoms seriously.

They talk about:

• The silent signs of heart disease that women often miss or dismiss
• Why menopause and perimenopause dramatically increase heart risk
• How hot flashes, palpitations, and even itchy ears can be red flags
• What 37 minutes of delay in care means for women’s survival
• The lifestyle shifts and medical conversations that actually protect your heart

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s hormones, stress, or something more, this conversation will help you connect the dots, advocate for yourself, and protect your health before it’s too late.
