6 signs of heart disease you shouldn’t ignore.
1. Chest discomfort
Pain, pressure, tightness or heaviness in the chest can sometimes indicate reduced blood flow to the heart.
2. Shortness of breath
Feeling breathless during normal activities or while lying down may be linked to heart function.
3. Unusual fatigue
Persistent tiredness, even after rest, can be an early warning sign - especially if everyday tasks suddenly feel exhausting.
4. Irregular heartbeat
A racing, fluttering or pounding heartbeat should never be ignored, particularly if it happens often.
5. Dizziness or lightheadedness
Feeling faint, dizzy or like you may pass out could indicate reduced blood flow or rhythm problems.
6. Swelling in the legs, ankles or feet
Fluid retention and swelling can sometimes point to the heart not pumping effectively.
Heart disease often develops quietly in the early stages. Recognising the signs early could save your life, or the life of someone you love.
