Be On The Know Of Heart Disease Symptoms


Defined Tag: Heart Disease Symptoms.

A simple fainting spell; nothing serious to many, but for most cardiologists, it may be one of heart disease symptoms, especially if it is accompanied by sudden numbness in any parts of the body. Overweight or not, listen to what your body says. Your heart may be telling you that it is getting weak or in danger.

Many believed that a chest pain is the best sign for a person to go and see a cardiologist. Chest pain, however, is just one of heart disease symptoms. In fact, most heart diseases do not have it as one of the symptoms. Chest pains occur when a person is already suffering from a heart attack.

Heart disease symptoms are mostly simple bodily weaknesses that most of us have or are experiencing and have learned to shrug off when felt. Feeling of fatigue during the afternoons or after a days work may be a telltale sign of a heart disease. It is normal to feel tired after a day's work, but if you feel extremely weak everyday when you get home from work, it is time to check your body for other symptoms such as: when you walk at a short distance, do you have shortness of breath? Do you feel dizzy when you get up suddenly from sitting? Positional vertigo is sometimes a sign of a valvular disease. For instance, a person with mitral valve prolapse when he gets up from bed or a chair feels dizzy, ears are ringing, and sight goes black for a few seconds as if someone has turned off the lights. The reason for this is that with heart valve diseases, blood backflows or regurgitates away from the heart, losing the normal volume of blood needed for distribution to different parts of the body.

Be wary of any tingling sensation in any parts of your body, most especially when the tingling is felt on the face and is more prominent at one half of the face, say the left or the right face. It may mean that there is a blockage in your arteries. If the tingling sensation is accompanied by slurred speech, loss of balance and coordination and headache without an apparent cause, go to the nearest hospital for these are heart disease symptoms that spell emergency.
