Recognizing the symptoms of heart disease is crucial for early detection and timely intervention. While symptoms can vary depending on the specific condition affecting the heart, common signs to be aware of include:
Chest Pain or Discomfort (Angina): This may feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center or left side of the chest. It can also radiate to the shoulders, neck, arms, back, teeth, or jaw.
Shortness of Breath: This may occur during physical activity or at rest and can be accompanied by feelings of fatigue.
Fatigue: Unusual tiredness or lack of energy, especially during routine activities, can be a warning sign of heart disease.
Palpitations: A sensation of a rapid, fluttering, or pounding heartbeat, which may indicate an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Feeling faint or experiencing a sensation of spinning can be associated with heart issues.
Swelling: Noticeable swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet may indicate fluid retention due to heart failure or other cardiovascular problems.
Nausea or Indigestion: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea, indigestion, or heartburn, particularly during a heart attack.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and appropriate testing. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and help manage thyroid conditions effectively.
