SUMMARY: Memorial Health System emphasizes the importance of heart health and recognizing early signs of heart attacks and strokes. Dr. Antoine Rizik explains that while chest pain, shortness of breath, and cold sweats are common symptoms, women often experience atypical signs like fatigue, nausea, throat tightness, and jaw pain. Factors like smoking, diabetes, obesity, and stress increase risk. Heart disease is rare in premenopausal women but rises after menopause. Quick action is critical—patients have about three hours to seek treatment for heart or brain recovery. Calling 911 immediately can be lifesaving. Early detection and fast response are essential for survival.

Memorial Health System is offering life-saving advice on how to protect your heart, especially when it comes to recognizing the signs of a heart attack.

SUMMARY: A special election has been scheduled for April in Pearl River County following the discovery of two illegal votes in the recent tax assessor and collector race. Governor Tate Reeves announced the election date after court documents revealed that illegal votes affected the runoff results between Sandy Cain Smith and Joe Lynn Houston. The runoff was originally decided by just three votes in Picayune’s south side precincts. Due to the narrow margin and the invalid ballots, voters in two precincts will return to the polls to ensure a fair and accurate outcome for the county tax assessor and collector position.
