High blood pressure, heart disease threaten women

Lorrie Langdon, RNNurse Lorraine Langdon, heart failure program coordinator at Upstate University Hospital, points out that more women than men have died from heart disease in the past three decades in the United States. She also says that more women die from heart disease than die from breast cancer and lung cancer combined. In this interview, she explains the dangers of high blood pressure and heart disease in women. Langdon goes over the common symptoms and encourages women to "know what is normal to you. Listen to your body. If it feels like something you've never really had before, you really need to get that checked out."
