Sign Of Heart Disease
Sign Of Heart Disease That Your Body Gives
When your body has something important to tell you, it will
let you know the way it can, which is by causing you pain.
When your body foresees imminent problems, it will give you
a sign of heart disease. Hence you should never ignore it.
While chest pain is a sign of heart disease, there are also
other symptoms which may be less obvious. The symptoms include
shortness of breath, leg swelling, and leg pain when walking,
high cholesterol and high blood pressure are all signs of
heart disease and your body is warning you that something
has to be treated. Ignoring the warnings would cause you fatal
consequences.
Chest pain, which is known as angina, is pain or a feeling
of pressure or chest tightening. Normally it accompanies physical
activity, but if you have angina while at rest, referred to
as unstable angina, it is a sign of heart disease and could
mean a heart attack is alarming in the near future.
As a common sign oh heart disease, it could be shortness
of breath. This happens when the heart can’t pump enough
blood to keep up with the body’s requirement. This can
cause a back-up of blood and fluid build up in the lungs,
thus making breathing extremely difficult. This is a sure
sign of heart disease and medical attention is critical.
Swelling Of Feet
When your legs and feet begin to collect fluid, they tend
to swell and it could be sign of heart disease. You will need
to inform your doctor if you are suffering from swelling,
especially if you suffer other symptoms such as shortness
of breath, as it may be a sign of heart disease.
Pain in the calf area of your legs during exercise may be
nothing to worry about if they stop a minute or so after you
stop the activity. But, if your leg pain occurs without activity
it could be a sign of your legs not getting enough oxygen
due to a blocked artery.
High blood pressure and a high bad cholesterol level are
also significant signs of heart disease. Check your blood
pressure annually to make sure that it does not harm your
health. High cholesterol can make your blood thicker and harder
to pump, that raises your blood pressure. It can also cause
blood clotting which could end up starving you heart of blood
and oxygen.
