After menopause, one in four women gets this disease, recognize the symptoms in time.

Recently a report has come out in which it has been claimed that 1 in 4 women suffers from this disease after menopause. Know its symptoms and methods of prevention.

Women's life is quite challenging. They have to face different experiences at different stages of age. Estrogen and progesterone hormones play an important role in mood swings in women. According to a report published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA), there is a direct relationship between irregular heart beat or atrial fibrillation (AFib) and menopause in women. A healthy heart has four chambers. Two upper and two lower. These four chambers maintain coordination among themselves. But when the upper chamber fails to coordinate with the lower chamber, then this condition is called AFib. AFib increases the heartbeat and reduces the flow of blood circulation. 

Women become victims of AFib disease after menopause

There are many causes of AFib. This could be a genetic reason. Old age, obesity, diabetes, high BP, or excessive stress, lack of sleep, women have to struggle with these problems after menopause. Women who do not suffer from AFib. They also have an increased risk of heart palpitations after menopause. 

Jaha Study

Jaha research included 83,736 women who had gone through menopause. Women aged 64 years were included in this research. The researcher did research for about 10 years to make this research successful. So that he can reach the right conclusion. They observed that approximately 24 thousand women started developing AFib after menopause. Lack of sleep and stress were seen in AFib patients. 

What does the research say?

However, a very interesting thing has come to light in this research. Which is very important to think about. For example, after menopause, many changes occur in the body of women. Researchers have only assessed psychological and social factors in women at one point in time. Because the older you are, the more experiences you have had, events that cause serious emotional upheaval may have occurred before the women were included in the study.

90 percent of the women participating in this research were American. Because of which this research cannot claim that it applies to every woman. Also, the results of this research are not for those women who have not gone through menopause. But in this research it is clear that due to stress and lack of sleep, women suffer from AFib disease after menopause.
