Unfortunately, many patients do not attach much importance to this complaint and do not consult a doctor in a timely manner.
As a rule, heart disease is associated with chest pain or discomfort in this area of the body, and yes, this is the right approach, although heart disease also has other warning symptoms. Strangely enough, chest pain is not always observed in patients with heart disease.
Cardiologists warn that any symptom that is provoked by physical activity and disappears at rest may be related to the heart.
You should pay special attention to the following conditions:
- Bad cholesterol;
- High blood pressure;
- Diabetes;
- You are a tobacco user;
- You have an inactive lifestyle;
- Overweight;
- A family member has heart disease.
The following symptoms may indicate a heart problem:
- Fatigue;
- Pain that you cannot explain;
- Shortness of breath;
- Swelling of the limb;
- Rapid heartbeat.
