A Heart Warrior’s Early Onset Menopause

Now that more Heart Warriors are surviving to adulthood than ever before, there is a growing cohort of individuals actually entering middle age. So for the first time ever, there is a group of female Heart Warriors who are actually experiencing the consequences of aging. What happens when female Heart Warriors enter menopause? Are there special considerations that need to be taken for Heart Warriors who are peri-menopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal? What symptoms are typical? Are there physiologic differences that happen to women who have experienced multiple open-heart surgeries? What kind of symptoms should female Heart Warriors be aware of? What groups of medical professionals can help female Heart Warriors who might worry they are experiencing menopause? Tune into today's show to hear Guest Host, Heart Warrior Laura Ryan, as she interviews fellow Heart Warrior, Kathy Ware, about this very important topic.
