Often overlooked signs of a heart condition
Unusual fatigue
Do you experience persistent fatigue even after adequate rest? Your arteries may be the culprit. Reduced blood flow can lead to chronic fatigue by depriving your muscles and brain of oxygen.
Unexplained shortness of breath
If simple activities like climbing stairs leave you breathless, it’s essential to listen to your body. Insufficient blood flow to the lungs can signal blocked arteries.
Chest pain or a feeling of tightness
Angina pectoris, characterized by tightness in the middle of the chest, is a crucial warning sign. If the pain spreads to the left arm, jaw, or back, immediate medical attention is recommended.
A feeling of heaviness or pain in the legs
Poor blood circulation in the lower limbs can cause pain or cramps, especially after physical exertion. This symptom may indicate the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that should not be underestimated.
