Important Signs And Symptoms Of Heart Disease

Important signs and symptoms of heart disease that you should never ignore.

1 Fatigue

Frequent unusual fatigue and lethargy may be a sign of an early onset of heart disease. This happens as the heart is unable to pump enough blood for the body’s needs, including the brain or muscle. Do see a cardiologist if you often feel tired for no reason, or if you feel exhausted doing activities that were not tiring for you in the past.

2 Shortness of breath (Dyspnea)

Shortness of breath is easy to dismiss as people who do not work out regularly tend to experience this condition. However, it can be a sign of heart disease if your regular daily activities, like climbing a short flight of stairs, leaves you breathless. Cardiovascular-related shortness of breath is often caused by coronary artery disease, a weak heart (cardiomyopathy), pericardial disease, heart valve disease and cardiac arrhythmias.
