People who pay attention to physical health may focus more on maintaining the health of the kidneys or liver, but in fact, the heart is the most important organ that affects life. It is like an engine in the body, and if it goes wrong, it will have a great impact on the health of the whole body. For people with a bad heart, the body usually has these 6 manifestations, are you still turning a blind eye?
1. Swelling of the lower limbs
When the heart is not functioning properly, the blood circulation in our body cannot complete the normal circulation, and most of it will remain in the lower limbs, and it is often accompanied by symptoms such as heart failure. If you notice a sudden decrease in urine output and weight gain, you may be suffering from cardiogenic edema. At first, it mainly manifests as edema of the lower limbs, and then gradually progresses to the whole body.
2. Shortness of breath
People with good physical fitness are usually afraid that the breath will be stable even on four or five floors. And some people are out of breath after climbing a floor or two, and people with this condition should not only consider the factor of endurance, but also be alert to the problem of weakening of the heart muscle. Because when the heart muscle is weakened, the heart's blood and oxygen supply capacity will be insufficient, resulting in shortness of breath.
3. Lightheadedness
Lightheadedness and vertigo can be signs of clogged blood vessels or heart valve disease, and even more so if they are accompanied by palpitations. In addition, lightheadedness when standing up quickly can also be a sign of a heart abnormality.
4. Chest and chest pain
If you feel pain in the retrosternal or precordial area during exertion, agitation, postprandial or cold conditions, you should pay attention to the health of your heart. This is a squeezing pain that radiates to the left shoulder, left arm, and even the ring finger of the left hand, but it usually lasts for a short time.
This condition is likely to be a manifestation of coronary heart disease angina pectoris or a precursor symptom of acute myocardial infarction and should not be easily ignored.
5. Increased heartbeat for no apparent reason
If one day, without any triggers, you suddenly feel your heart beat faster for no reason, lasting about 1 minute to 10 minutes, and often after physical activity, emotional agitation or excessive food, it is best to go to the hospital for further diagnosis to see if there is a heart problem.
6. Frequent tinnitus
Some heart disease patients will have different degrees of tinnitus symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and the reason for this is mainly related to the capillaries inside the patient's own ears. Because the capillaries in the ear of people with an unhealthy heart are very sensitive to changes in the blood, when the blood in the body is abnormal, there will be tinnitus symptoms.
