Your heart works tirelessly every second of the day to keep you alive — but when it’s in trouble, it often mutters before it screams. Heart disease is one of the major causes of d3ath globally, and the tragedy is that many people neglect early war:ning signs. Catching these symptoms early can save your life.
Here are 7 subtle but crucial signs your heart may be in danger:
1. Chest Discomfort
This is the most classic sign of heart problems. It may feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest. It might come and go or last more than a few minutes. Some people describe it as “an elephant sitting on their chest.” If you feel this sensation during rest or activity, don’t ignore it — seek medical attention immediately.
2. Shortness of Breath
If you find yourself breathless after light activity or even while resting, it may be more than just poor fitness. The heart and lungs work closely together, and when the heart struggles to pump blood, fluid can back up into the lungs, making it harder to breathe. Shortness of breath, especially when lying down, is a major red flag.
