If you're feeling drained after minimal activity, or constantly tired despite rest, it could be your heart working overtime due to restricted blood flow.
Shortness of Breath
Struggling to breathe during light exertion or while lying down may indicate that the heart isn’t pumping effectively.
Chest Discomfort or Tightness
Often described as pressure, fullness, or squeezing, chest pain is a classic sign, even if it only lasts a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
Sleep Disturbances
Frequent waking in the night, insomnia, or difficulty falling asleep without reason may be your nervous system reacting to heart stress.
Digestive Issues
Nausea, bloating, or a feeling of indigestion—especially without having eaten anything problematic—can sometimes be related to heart problems rather than gut issues.
Pain in the Arms or Upper Back
Pain radiating down one or both arms or across the upper back and shoulders is a classic, often overlooked, sign of heart trouble—especially in women.
Cold Sweats and Dizziness
Breaking out in a cold sweat, lightheadedness, or feeling like you might faint could signal a circulatory issue, especially if paired with any of the above symptoms.
