Time to take better care of ourselves! I know at the age of 25, I thought 40 would be old, but now that I am slightly past that mark, I have moved the old age marker to 95. Tami Roman's mild heart attack at the age of 41, sadly, is not all that uncommon, and should serve as a warning to all of us, women especially, who tend to die of heart attacks more often than men.
Tami Roman is a current star on VH-1's reality show, “Basketball Wives,” even though she divorced her basketball-playing husband, Kenny Anderson, two years ago. Tami's life has been rather tumultuous since her initial claim to fame as a cast member on MTV's “The Real World” back in 1993. Her hard-partying, combative and controversial nature got her kicked out of the house and it didn't look like much had changed when she showed up for the second season of “Basketball Wives.”
Tami was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after a scheduled Monday night online chat with fans. She said she hadn't been feeling well, but never imagined she had had a heart attack. And that is why heart attacks tend to be more deadly for women than men. The symptoms are rarely as obvious, and many women also have a propensity for ignoring the signs because they are just too busy with career, husbands and children.
Tami claims that this incident has helped put things into perspective for her and she told her fans in the Twitter world that she would be taking a bit of a break. Will it be enough?
Tami appeared to be in great shape physically, did enjoy drinking for sure, but the anger she constantly carried towards the other women on the show, her ex-husband and life in general, certainly couldn't have helped the situation. Can she change? Is it possible to grow up and get over it already?
Keep heart healthy everyone and don't sweat the small stuff!
