In today's time, it is seen that even good-looking people are falling prey to a heart attack. Due to today's run-of-the-mill lifestyle, wrong eating and not paying attention to oneself, in the last few years the risk of heart attack has increased even among the youth. The main function of the heart is to deliver blood to all the parts of the body. But when the heart does not do its work properly, it harms the whole body. In such a situation, it is very important that you take special care of your heart and proper treatment should be taken by knowing the signs related to heart disease in time. Today we are going to tell you only about such signs and symptoms which point toward heart-related problems. Let's know about them...
Chest pain
Heart-related chest pain is known as angina. A typical angina is described as a squeezing or choking chest pain in the center of the chest behind the sternum that may radiate to the jaw and arms. It often increases with exertion or after eating and decreases with rest.
Breathing problem
If while doing any physical activity, you have to face the problem of chest pain along with shortness of breath, then it indicates that your heart is not healthy and you have some heart-related disease.
Profuse sweating
It is common for the body to sweat while working. But if you are feeling hot and sweating along with chest pain even in normal temperature, then these can be signs of a weak heart or heart attack.
Dizziness
Dizziness or fainting attacks can be signs of heart disease. When the heartbeat is too slow or too fast, a person may feel dizzy. Dizziness can occur even when the blood pressure is very low. Consult your doctor if you experience frequent dizziness.
Irregular heartbeat
Another common sign of a weak heart is an irregular heartbeat. If you also feel your heartbeat irregular, then get a doctor checked immediately.
Gaining weight
Rapid weight gain indicates heart failure and accumulation of fluid in the body. Consult your doctor if you are gaining weight rapidly despite taking a normal diet. Rapid weight gain due to heart failure is often associated with increased breathlessness.
Leg pain
It is often seen that people ignore the pain in their feet. But sometimes leg pain can also be a sign of weakness of the heart. So if you feel cramping or tightness in the calf while walking, do not ignore it.
Edema
Swelling in the ankle area, especially if the nature is pressure indicates that there is fluid accumulation in dependent parts of the body. Heart or kidney disease leads to this condition. Consult your doctor if you experience this.
