Symptoms of heart disease
The most common symptom of heart disease is chest pain but the type of nerve that innervates the heart
can give the brain very different signals to indicate ‘heart pain’. Therefore symptoms of heart disease can very from person to person.
· Chest pain is usually described as chest pressure, tightness, squeezing, or an aching discomfort.
Symptoms of heart disease can also include:
· Fatigue or a change in exercise tolerance can be a symptom of heart disease.
· Shortness of breath can also be a symptom of heart disease.
· Indigestion, heart burn and nausea can also be symptoms of heart disease which results from the fact that the same nerve that innervates the heart also goes to the stomach.
· Passing out may be a sign of heart disease.
· Palpitations; the sensation that your heart is beating forcefully or irregularly.
· Left arm discomfort or jaw pain can also be symptoms of heart disease due to nerves that enter the spine at the same location.
· Yawing is an infrequent sign of heart disease affecting the bottom of the heart.
· Symptoms of heart disease may worsen with exercise.
· Symptoms of heart disease should be evaluated by your doctor.
