Sen. Theis: National Go Red Day
Sen. Theis: National Go Red Day
Today is National Wear Red Day, a reminder that heart disease is the number one cause of death for women. Heart attacks don’t always look the same in women—they can show up as unusual fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, jaw or back pain, or pressure that doesn’t feel like classic chest pain. These signs are often misunderstood or ignored. Wearing red today is a simple way to start an important conversation. Know the signs, talk with your doctor, and take care of your heart—today and every day.
