Few people know these 3 signs of heart failure

  The health of the heart is related to your overall health, so it is important to treat the diseases related to the heart immediately.

Here are 3 symptoms that may indicate heart failure.

Dr. Jeremy London,

a heart surgeon in Savannah, Georgia, said that if a person has trouble breathing while walking or lying down, or feels swollen legs, it's a sign of a weakened heart. .

1: Shortness of breath while walking         

When you are having difficulty breathing or getting oxygen while walking and having to take faster, deeper breaths than usual, this usually indicates a heart or lung disease.

 According to the Mayo Clinic, these symptoms can appear suddenly or last for a long time.

 Common causes include heart attack, irregular heartbeat, or heart failure.

According to the NJ Cardiovascular Institute,

if shortness of breath is accompanied by swelling in the ankles and feet, difficulty breathing while lying down, fever, cough or wheezing, contact your doctor immediately.

1: Shortness of breath when lying down

Orthopnea is the medical term 

for shortness of breath when lying down, but is usually relieved by sitting or standing.

If one has a weak heart,

it becomes difficult to pump blood from the legs to the lungs while lying down.

Sleeping with pillows can provide temporary relief,

but if you have orthopnea, it's important to consult a doctor, especially if you have chest pain, irregular heartbeat, cough or Orthopnea is often a symptom of congestive heart failure, even if it's shortness of breath.

1: Swelling in the legs

The accumulation of fluid in body tissues causes swelling, known as edema. 

If blood starts to back up in the veins of your legs, it could be a sign that your heart isn't working properly, which is usually the first noticeable sign of heart failure.

Experts recommend seeking immediate medical attention if the swelling starts suddenly and has no apparent cause, or is accompanied by chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, dizziness, or coughing up blood. should
