Many people often feel tired despite adequate rest. According to cardiologists, this condition does not only come from a busy lifestyle or lack of sleep, but is sometimes an early warning for many cardiovascular diseases.
Dr Danielle Belardo, a cardiologist at Precision Preventive Cardiology (USA), emphasizes that fatigue is one of the common symptoms but is easily overlooked.
People often think fatigue is just a result of stress, overwork, but it can actually reflect serious heart problems, says Danielle Belardo.
According to Danielle Belardo, cardiovascular disease can manifest in many different forms such as: chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, chest tightness, or swelling in the legs and ankles. However, persistent and abnormal fatigue is also a sign that needs special attention.
Fatigue can be associated with a number of conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, heart disease or arrhythmia.
These are all dangerous conditions if not detected and treated promptly, according to hindustantimes.
"The important thing is to distinguish fatigue from daily activities from fatigue from disease. If the condition persists or appears with other symptoms, patients should see a doctor to rule out the risk of cardiovascular disease, recommends Danielle Belardo.
The report from Harvard Health also shows that, in addition to the cause of medicine or other diseases, new fatigue and unknown causes are sometimes a warning sign of heart failure or coronary artery disease.
Early recognition is important in treating and preventing complications.
Experts recommend that when there are symptoms of prolonged fatigue, especially accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath or edema, people should not be subjective.
Timely medical examination will help detect cardiovascular disease early, the leading cause of death globally today.
