Cardiovascular disease includes many related diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmia or heart valve diseases...
There are some initial symptoms of cardiovascular disease that are often easily overlooked or confusing, so housewives need to consider early to recognize early warning signs for timely detection as well as see a doctor for effective treatment.
Chest pain
This is one of the most common signs of risk of cardiovascular disease. The pain may appear in the middle of the chest, spreading to the arms, neck, jaw or back. This pain usually lasts for a few minutes, and can appear while working hard.
Difficulty breathing
Difficulty breathing while working or even at rest can be a sign of heart failure and coronary artery failure. This phenomenon can occur when the heart does not pump enough blood and oxygen to meet the body's needs, leading to shortness of breath and causing fatigue.
Irregular heart rate
Feeling a rapid, strong, or irregular heartbeat can be a sign of arrhythmia. If this condition persists, it can cause dizziness and easily faint...
leg swelling
A heart attack can lead to fluid accumulation in the body, causing swelling in the lower limbs. This is also the reason for swollen legs at the end of the day or after standing for a long time.
Nausea, indigestion or stomach pain
Some people, especially women, may experience digestive symptoms such as nausea, indigestion or stomach pain when suffering a heart attack. These symptoms are easily confused with common digestive problems.
Persistent cough
A persistent cough, especially a dry cough or wheezing, can be a sign of heart disease. This condition occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs because the heart does not pump blood effectively.
Therefore, when any of the above signs appear, quickly seek medical advice from doctors for diagnosis and timely treatment to protect cardiovascular health and prevent serious complications.
