Two women with heart disease had to fight for a diagnosis. Here’s how they advocated for their health
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., yet experts agree the condition is often misdiagnosed in women.
For American Heart Month, doctors and patients are speaking out to help ensure that women’s symptoms get life-saving attention and treatment.
Dr. Philip Adamson, chief medical officer of Abbott’s Heart Failure Division, said women are often diagnosed with anxiety or depression when they are short of breath or experience fatigue — when the true culprit is heart failure.

“Women can also be diagnosed with these conditions when they present with fast heart beats or ‘palpitations’ that can be the result of abnormal heart rhythms,” Adamson, who is based in Austin, Texas, told Fox News Digital.

“Several objective studies found that there is a systematic bias that leads doctors to misdiagnose coronary heart disease and heart failure in women.”
Studies have shown women are 52% more likely to have a delay in diagnosis than men when presenting with a heart attack, according to Dr. Bradley Serwer, a cardiologist and chief medical officer at VitalSolution, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based company that offers cardiovascular and anesthesiology services to hospitals.

“Because heart disease may be under recognized in women, studies have shown that they receive less aggressive treatment,” Serwer told Fox News Digital.
“Women also have a lower representation in clinical trials assessing therapies for heart attacks than men.”
Here’s what to know.

Heart disease symptoms chalked up to aging
Carol Pollard, 79, who lives in San Jose, California, is all too familiar with the danger of misdiagnosis. A few years ago, when the grandmother started feeling out of breath and very fatigued, she — and her doctors — at first chalked it up to getting older.
“My husband and I went to five cardiologists — and all five misdiagnosed me,” she told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.
Pollard was ultimately diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation — otherwise known as a leaky valve — which is when the valve doesn’t close tightly and blood flows backward into the heart.
She was placed on a variety of drugs, but none of them helped much with her breathing issues.
Carol Pollard, 79, was initially told that her symptoms were likely related to getting older. As it turned out, she had a leaky heart valve and a rare heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis. (Carol Pollard)
“At the time, the team of doctors couldn’t decide whether I was a little crazy or whether I was having panic attacks,” Pollard said.
“They planted that seed of doubt and I said to myself, ‘You have to listen to them,’” she went on. “So I went on the drugs they wanted me to go on, but I still couldn’t breathe.”
It was only later, when she was having additional tests to find alternate treatments for the leaky valve, that Pollard learned she had another condition that everyone had overlooked.

“A heart biopsy finally gave us a diagnosis that all of them had missed, which is, I have a rare heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis,” Pollard said.
With cardiac amyloidosis, a protein called amyloid builds up in the heart, which prevents it from functioning as it should.
“A rogue protein that developed in my bone marrow transferred into my blood and then attacked my heart, kidneys and GI tract,” she said.
Pollard (shown above, just slightly left of center) had the opportunity to visit the Abbott Technologies lab in California, where she met the team who made the MitraClip device that she credits with saving her life. (Abbott Technologies)
The only treatment for the condition was chemotherapy, which Pollard received for a year.
“They finally got me into remission, but I still couldn’t breathe due to the leaky valve,” she said.
Eventually, a doctor introduced Pollard to Abbott Laboratories, a medical products company that produces the MitraClip. It’s small device that clips the valve together and prevents blood from flowing back into the heart.
After a long road of testing and pre-qualifications, Pollard underwent the mitral valve procedure.
“The team of doctors couldn’t decide whether I was a little crazy or whether I was having panic attacks.”
“The day after [the surgeon] put that clip in my heart, I could breathe again for the first time normally in I don’t know how long,” Pollard said. “I was so elated and amazed and happy that when my daughter arrived at the hospital, we actually danced in the hospital room.”
Today, Pollard is feeling “pretty good,” although her cardiac amyloidosis is back. She still gets chemo once a month for that condition and sees her regular cardiologist and hematologist every few months.
Pollard’s breathing is fine thanks to the MitraClip, which she calls a “miracle procedure that saved my life and my sanity.”
Symptoms blamed on pregnancy and pinched nerves
Tina Marie Marston, 49, also had a long journey to her heart diagnosis.
When she was 28, the Georgia mother started experiencing symptoms of heart failure during pregnancy — fluid retention, shortness of breath, extreme nausea and vomiting.
“I was just so sick throughout that pregnancy and nothing seemed to be alarming [the doctors],” she told Fox News Digital in an interview. “It was just like, ‘Oh, you’re pregnant. This is just what happens.’”
Tina Marston’s heart disease warning signs were misdiagnosed as pregnancy effects and, later, a pinched nerve. “I always felt like something was off.” (Tina Marston)
Even months after giving birth, Marston said she “just never felt right — I always felt like something was off.”
In 2002, Marston returned to the hospital to get her symptoms checked.
“I remember the doctor listening to me with a stethoscope, but he didn’t run any type of X-rays or do any bloodwork,” she said.
WANT TO AVOID A HEART ATTACK? THESE ARE THE BEST AND WORST FOODS, ACCORDING TO CARDIOLOGISTS
The doctor told Marston she had “a touch of walking pneumonia,” then gave her a prescription and said to allow three days for it to work.
“On the second day, I called a friend and I said I have to go back to the ER, because if I go to sleep, I’m not going to wake up,” she said.
That was when the doctors discovered that Marston had a hole in her lung, congestive heart failure, full-blown pneumonia and postpartum cardiomyopathy — which is heart failure that occurs between the last month of pregnancy and five months after delivery.
Tina Marston is now an active advocate for women’s heart health and an LVAD ambassador for Abbott Technologies. (Tina Marston)
“The doctor told me not to come back for three days, but I came back two days later,” she said. “What would have happened if I hadn’t come back?”
After spending a few days in the ICU, Marston was discharged and adopted a whole new lifestyle, with a focus on heart-healthy nutrition.
A few years later, in 2010, she experienced another life-threatening misdiagnosis. When Marston went to the hospital with excruciating leg pain, she was told it was a pinched nerve — but days later, doctors realized her legs were riddled with dangerous blood clots that had to be surgically removed.
SLEEPING LONGER OVER THE WEEKEND COULD HELP PREVENT HEART ATTACKS, SAYS STUDY
“I could have lost both legs,” she said. “I had no blood flow for at least a week.”
In her late 30s, Marston received an LVAD (left ventricular assist device) — the HeartMate II by Abbott — a device that helps the heart pump blood from its lower chambers to the rest of the body.
To help other women facing the same struggles, Marston recently founded a nonprofit called the Tina Marie Marston Foundation. She is also a legislative advocate for the Georgia American Heart Association.
Preventing misdiagnoses
While it’s difficult to put a number on how many cases of women’s heart disease go misdiagnosed in the U.S., Adamson said it is “common.”
“Objective studies have found there is a medical bias that women are at low risk for developing heart problems,” he noted. “This bias exists for all cardiovascular diseases, from coronary issues to late-stage heart failure.”
“Women’s health is a very important issue and requires self-advocacy to find the right medical provider who recognizes the bias,” a doctor told Fox News Digital. (iStock)
“The bias is particularly common in women who suffer from a unique type of heart failure that arises because the heart is stiff and cannot adequately relax, which the medical community calls ‘heart failure with preserved ejection fraction,’” Adamson said.
“Many women with this type of heart failure, especially women of African descent, downplay their symptoms or don’t seek care because they are busy caregivers who often also work outside the home,” the doctor noted.
To prevent potentially deadly misdiagnoses, Adamson emphasized the importance of women being their own advocates.
“Many women … downplay their symptoms or don’t seek care because they are busy caregivers who often also work outside the home.”
“Women’s health is a very important issue and requires self-advocacy to find the right medical provider who recognizes the bias,” he told Fox News Digital.
“Tina [Marston] is a great example of someone who knew something was wrong and advocated for appropriate treatment,” he said. “She would not let the system blow her off — instead, she took things into her own hands and found what was available on her own.”
A doctor stressed the importance of finding the right provider who understands how to properly manage all risk factors for heart disease. Marston and Pollard also urged women not to hesitate to ask questions. (iStock)
The doctor said it’s essential to find the right provider who understands how to properly manage blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, weight control and other risk factors – including genetics – for developing early heart disease.
“I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for women to be aware of their health and partner with health care providers who have overcome the typical biases leading to misdiagnoses,” Adamson added.
“Sometimes the problem is anxiety, but make sure all options have been considered. We need to care for the amazing heart.”
A cardiologist noted that not all women will experience classic symptoms like chest pain. “Be aware that heart attack symptoms for women may include shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea or just not feeling right,” he told Fox News Digital. (iStock)
Serwer, the Ohio cardiologist, also noted that not all women will experience classic symptoms like chest pain.
“Be aware that heart attack symptoms for women may include shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea or just not feeling right,” he told Fox News Digital.
The doctor also urged women to be aware of their individual risks for developing heart disease and start making modifications early.
Studies have shown women are 52% more likely to have a delay in diagnosis than men when presenting with a heart attack, a cardiologist said.
“Know your medical conditions and your family history,” Serwer advised. “Sit down with your health care team to help identify ways to reduce your risk. Don’t wait until after you have a heart attack to start treating your high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.”
If symptoms do arise, the doctor said, don’t ignore them.
“Don’t wait until after you have a heart attack to start treating your high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes,” a cardiologist advised. (iStock)
“Seek medical attention and raise the concern that you may be afraid you’re having a heart attack.”
To other women, Pollard’s advice is to “listen to your body — because I wasn’t listening to mine.”

She told Fox News Digital, “I think many times, women are misdiagnosed because they don’t pay attention to themselves. There’s that ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality … I think we are given these messages that teach us to ignore the signals of our body,” she said.
“Our body is very smart, and when it’s telling you something is wrong, you need to listen to it.”
“I think many times, women are misdiagnosed because they don’t pay attention to themselves,” one heart patient told Fox News Digital. (iStock)
“I take part of the blame for taking so long to be diagnosed because I wasn’t taking my pain seriously,” she added.
“Being out of breath and terribly fatigued is not necessarily a part of getting old.”
Marston advised women to “never second-guess yourself” and to never hesitate to ask questions.
“It should be a partnership where you’re working together with your doctors,” she said.
“You should have a team that accepts questions without any hesitation.”

While cannabis has recently come under fire for potential negative health risks, a recent study suggests that its use could increase brain volume and cognitive fitness.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus analyzed cannabis usage, brain scans and cognitive test results for more than 26,000 adults between the ages of 40 and 77, using data from the UK biobank.
The study found that cannabis users — particularly those who reported moderate lifetime usage — showed larger volumes in several brain regions.
ALZHEIMER’S DECLINE COULD SLOW DRAMATICALLY WITH ONE SIMPLE DAILY HABIT, STUDY FINDS
“Compared to individuals with no history of cannabis use, those who reported using cannabis showed larger volumes in several brain regions characterized by a high density of cannabinoid (CB1) receptors — regions involved in processes such as memory, information processing and emotion regulation,” lead study author Anika Guha, Ph.D., a researcher at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, told Fox News Digital.

The cannabis users also scored better on cognitive tests that measured learning, processing speed and executive function.
This outcome differs from many previous studies, which have focused on short-term cognitive impairment during or shortly after cannabis use, the researcher pointed out.
‘HIGH JANUARY’ FUELS CANNABIS BOOM AS EXPERTS FLAG SOME SERIOUS HEALTH DANGERS
“These findings suggest that the relationship between cannabis and the brain may differ across the lifespan, and that moderate use in mid-to-later adulthood may be associated with positive brain health outcomes,” Guha said.
Not all areas of the brain showed positive effects among cannabis users. The posterior cingulate, which is involved in self-reflection and memory, had lower volume with higher marijuana use.
“The takeaway is not that people should start using more cannabis based on these findings alone.”
As cannabis has been rising in popularity among all ages, this type of study is important for understanding its long-term effects and the pros and cons of use, according to Matt Glowiak, Ph.D., chief addiction specialist with Recovered, an organization that provides information and resources for mental health and addiction treatment.

“Given the connection between cannabis use and larger brain volume, it is believed that it may help [older] individuals retain cognitive function that might otherwise naturally decline,” Chicago-based Glowiak, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.
“This is a huge benefit, but one we need to explore a bit further, ahead of encouraging those who would otherwise not consider integrating cannabis into their healthcare regimen.”
Limitations and caveats
As the study was observational in nature, it could not prove that cannabis use improves brain health — instead, it only showed an association, according to Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, who was not involved in the study.
“The preponderance of previous evidence does not line up with improved cognitive function from chronic cannabis use,” Siegel told Fox News Digital. “This study is an outlier, and though it cannot be ignored, it is not justification for use.”

The study also relied on the UK Biobank, which offers a “large and rich dataset,” Guha said — but it is limited to the questions that were originally posed to the participants.
“In particular, we have only a broad measure of how many times someone has used cannabis over their lifetime,” she said. “We do not have access to details about how they used cannabis, such as whether they smoked or used edibles, the type or potency of cannabis, or when in their life they used most heavily.”

“Those details likely matter a great deal for understanding how cannabis affects the aging brain.”
Given these limitations, Guha suggests that the findings should be seen as an early indicator that cannabis use may be related to brain aging, “and as a starting point for more targeted research that can tease apart these relationships.”

“The takeaway is not that people should start using more cannabis based on these findings alone,” she emphasized. “While cannabis may have potential benefits in some contexts, a substantial body of research also documents important risks, underscoring that cannabis is neither completely beneficial nor completely harmful.”
The drug’s effects likely depend on factors such as age, dose, frequency, product composition and individual vulnerability, according to Guha.
“Given the widespread use and legalization of cannabis, it would be great to know that it is net-positive for brain health — however, this feels too good to be true, and too early to claim,” one expert said. (AP)
“As with any substance, individuals should consult with a healthcare provider before initiating use, particularly if they have a history of mental health concerns, as THC (the primary psychoactive component of cannabis) can exacerbate symptoms such as psychosis in vulnerable individuals,” she added.
Dr. Alex Dimitriu, who is double board-certified in psychiatry and sleep medicine and the founder of Menlo Park Psychiatry & Sleep Medicine, reiterated that this study is an “outlier,” as most previous research has shown “detrimental effects” from cannabis use.

Dimitriu agreed that more large-scale studies and review papers are needed to get a “clearer picture.”

Valerian, an herbal supplement long used for sleep and relaxation, has been referred to as “nature’s Valium” — but experts are divided on whether it truly compares to the prescription sedative.
The herb, which is sold as a dietary supplement in the U.S., is a common ingredient in products marketed as “mild sedatives” and sleep aids, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Valium, the brand name for diazepam, is used to treat anxiety, seizures and muscle spasms by calming the nervous system, Cleveland Clinic notes.
Valerian supplements are derived from the roots of Valeriana officinalis, a flowering plant native to Europe and Asia that has also naturalized in northeastern America, according to the American Botanical Council (ABC).
The plant has a “long history of medicinal use,” per the ABC, with the primary goal of reducing anxiety and stress as well as improving sleep quality. It has historically also been used for migraines, fatigue and stomach cramps.

Dried valerian roots can be prepared as teas or tinctures, while other plant materials and extracts have been distributed as capsules or tablets, per the NIH.
The agency noted, however, that there is a “relatively small amount of research” investigating the herb’s impact on various conditions.
POPULAR SLEEP POSITIONS COULD BE DAMAGING YOUR NERVES, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS
However, Stefan Gafner, Ph.D., chief science officer of the American Botanical Council in Texas, confirmed that some clinical trials have explored valerian root’s effects.
A 2020 medical review published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that both powdered root and root extracts show a “clear” benefit in treating anxiety, Gafner told Fox News Digital.

While valerian may have some benefits, Gafner said he doesn’t think it “makes sense” to compare it to diazepam (Valium).
“I can understand that both are used to relieve anxiety, but valerian is a much milder ingredient, and is really used for mild cases of anxiety and sleep issues,” he told Fox News Digital.
Some valerian users have reported improved sleep and reduced anxiety, according to recent research. (iStock)
Unlike valerian, diazepam carries a risk of dependence and is generally prescribed short-term, the expert said, and the spectrum of potential adverse effects is “very different.”
MISSING SLEEP MAY TAKE A HIDDEN TOLL ON YOUR BRAIN AND LONGEVITY, RESEARCH REVEALS
Gafner said he “absolutely” recommends the use of valerian root to relieve anxiety and stress and to improve sleep.
“I have used it myself and I believe it’s an ingredient with well-documented benefits, especially for people with problems falling asleep,” he said. “It is well-tolerated and very safe… although some sources caution [against] driving a car or using heavy machinery when using valerian.”

Dr. Joseph Mercola, a board-certified family medicine osteopathic physician and author of the new book “Weight Loss Cure,” said valerian’s comparisons to Valium may “exaggerate what the science actually shows.”

“Valerian root contains compounds that appear to enhance calming brain chemicals, particularly the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps quiet nerve activity and supports relaxation,” the Florida-based expert told Fox News Digital.
“Some studies do report modest improvements in sleep quality or shorter time to fall asleep, while others find no meaningful difference compared with placebo.”
Valerian supplementation may not be right for everyone seeking better sleep, one doctor said. (iStock)
Side effects may include headaches, dizziness, digestive upset or next-day grogginess, Mercola noted, adding that he would not recommend it as a primary strategy for anxiety, stress or sleep.
“Because long-term safety studies remain limited, and supplement quality varies widely, you should approach valerian with caution rather than view it as a universal sleep solution,” he advised.
“You should approach valerian with caution rather than view it as a universal sleep solution.”
“I encourage people to focus first on strategies that correct the underlying drivers of poor sleep,” Mercola advised. “When you fix those foundations, you often find that you no longer need an herbal sedative at all.”
“I encourage people to focus first on strategies that correct the underlying drivers of poor sleep,” one doctor advised. (iStock)
“Bright sunlight during the day helps regulate your circadian rhythm and signals your brain to produce melatonin later at night,” he said. “At the same time, complete darkness [at night] supports the hormonal signals that allow deep, restorative sleep.”
Certain nutrients can also promote relaxation and sleep quality, including magnesium, which helps to regulate the nervous system, according to the doctor.

GABA may help to calm nerve activity, reduce stress markers and improve perceived sleep quality, Mercola said, while glycine — taken at about 3 grams an hour before bed — may support relaxation, promote the body’s nighttime temperature drop, and improve sleep onset and overall quality.

“When you combine sunlight exposure, magnesium, GABA and glycine, you support the biological systems that control sleep instead of relying on a sedating herb with mixed evidence,” the doctor concluded.
