4. You Feel Dizzy or Lightheaded
There are numerous factors that can temporarily cause you to lose your balance or feel weak. Maybe you didn’t eat or drink enough, or you got up too quickly.
However, call an ambulance as soon as you feel unstable and have chest pain or shortness of breath. It may indicate that your blood pressure has decreased as a result of your heart’s inability to pump properly.
5. Throat or Jaw Pain
Jaw or throat pain by itself are probably unrelated to the heart. It’s more likely to be brought on by a musculoskeletal condition, a cold, or a sinus issue.
However, it may indicate a heart attack if you experience discomfort or pressure in the middle of your chest that radiates up into your throat or jaw.
Make a 911 call and get medical help to make sure everything is okay.
6. You Get Exhausted Easily
Make an appointment with your doctor immediately away if you suddenly feel exhausted or breathless after doing something you had no trouble doing in the past, such climbing stairs or carrying groceries from the car.
We value these kinds of big changes more than any minor discomfort you may be experiencing. Particularly in women, extreme fatigue or inexplicable weakness might be a sign of heart disease. These symptoms can last for days at a time.
7. Snoring
You’re allowed to snore a little bit as you sleep. However, snoring that is excessively loud and sounds like gasping or choking may indicate sleep apnea. You experience this multiple times throughout the course of the night while you are still asleep. Your heart is more strained as a result.
To determine if you have this issue, your doctor can determine whether you require a sleep study. If so, you could require a CPAP machine to facilitate restful breathing.
