Improving your heart health includes knowing what to be aware of, so what are the warning signs of cardiovascular disease? Find out.
Since cardiovascular disease develops over time, you may not notice the various warning signs associated with heart disease. For example, you may experience ankle swelling, shortness of breath, and chest pain long before any serious heart problems arise.
The following are different warning signs of cardiovascular disease that you need to know.
1. Chest Pain
While there are many causes for chest pain, it’s still the most common symptom of poor circulation to the heart. It’s also important to note that the type and amount of pain will vary from person to person.
2. Shortness of Breath
One symptom of heart failure is shortness of breath due to fluid leaking into the lungs. While it’s normal during high-intensity activities, shortness of breath when you’re at rest is one of the warning signs.
3. Coughing and Weezing
When fluid builds up in your lungs, you may experience some coughing or wheezing that won’t go away. In addition, you may start coughing up mucus with a pink color or that has blood.
4. Swelling
Swelling in the lower legs, ankles, or feet is a condition known as edema, a sign of heart problems. Moreover, you may experience swelling in your stomach and even have some weight gain.
5. Narrow Blood Vessels
If your blood vessels (veins, arteries) are narrowing, it can be a result of cholesterol and plaque buildup. As a result, you’ll have poor circulation that can lead to pain, numbness, fatigue, discomfort, and even high blood pressure.
6. Fatigue
While feeling tired may simply mean that you need more rest, it can also be a sign of serious problems. Take note if you’re feeling more tired than usual, have sudden and severe weakness, or can’t do your daily activities.
7. Uneven Heart Palpitations
When your heart has trouble pumping blood, it may result in either fast or uneven heartbeats. This can be a sign of an arrhythmia, which is a problem with your heart rhythm or heart rate.
The Outlook
If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t wait for them to go away on their own – call your doctor. Furthermore, you should call 911 if you’re becoming extremely short of breath, have chest pain, or have other heart attack symptoms.
