5 Early Symptoms of Heart Problem

Chest Pain

Intense pain, discomfort, burning, tightness, pressure, or squeezing in the chest can be indicative of heart troubles. 

Breathing Problems

Shortness of breath, especially when accompanied by a sense of suffocation, is another red flag requiring immediate evaluation.

Irregular Heartbeat and Fatigue

Unexplained fatigue that hampers daily activities may signal a cardiac issue. Any irregularities in the heartbeat, such as palpitations, fluttering, or skipped beats, are potential signs of heart disease.

Upper Body Pain

Persistent pain or pressure in the upper body, particularly in the left shoulder, warrants prompt medical attention. Women may experience pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, arms, neck, or jaw.

Nausea or Vomiting

While commonly associated with digestive problems, persistent nausea or vomiting could be a sign of severe heart problems. Prompt investigation is crucial to distinguish between digestive issues and potential heart-related concerns.
