With age cardiac function may weaken, and some changes in the body may indicate possible problems, so if they appear, you should consult a cardiologist.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Еlegantwoman.
< p>Doctors noted that one of the key symptoms is difficulty breathing and increased heart rate even with light exertion. There are several other signs that may indicate a weakened heart:
Swollen ankles and feet
If your ankles and feet swell, it may indicate heart failure. A weakened heart cannot pump blood effectively, which increases pressure in the veins and leads to fluid retention in the tissues.
Pain in the jaw and neck
If chest pain radiates to the jaw or neck, it may be due to heart problems. Listen to your body's signals, especially if something has changed in the way you normally feel.
Erectile Dysfunction
Circulation problems in one area of the body are often associated with problems with blood flow in other areas, and in men, this can manifest as erectile dysfunction.
Constant Fatigue
If fatigue does not go away even with rest, or if it has become difficult to perform normal physical activities, such as climbing stairs, this is a reason to think about checking your heart.
Gum Inflammation and Dental Problems
Research shows that gum disease increases the risk of heart disease, since bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and, therefore, the heart, increasing the risk of infection and inflammation.
Doctors note that paying attention to these signs, you can detect heart problems in time and take the necessary measures.
