Swollen Feet

Unexplained swelling in the feet, without doing anything to cause it, could be a warning sign your body may be signalling. It often occurs when the heart isn’t pumping enough blood resulting to fluid buildup in the lower extremities.

3/7

Dizziness

While not every dizzy feeling is linked to a heart health problem, experiencing sudden dizziness or cold sweats without any obvious cause can signal that the body is under stress, possibly due to an underlying heart condition. Ensure to consult your doctor at the earliest if these symptoms are presistent and intense.

5/7

Shortness Of Breath

Struggling to catch your breath without exertion? Shortness of breath can occur when your heart isn't getting enough rich blood. An ultimate red flag that your body is signalling for a serious heart condition.

6/7

Fatigue
