Cardiologist Amit Baha'i advises paying attention to seemingly small signals that the heart is experiencing difficulties.
— Most of we do not need to undergo an annual tomography. Thus, we ignore small signals that our heart is not working perfectly. And then it gets too late, — said the cardiologist.
According to him, heart problems can slowly but surely progress until one day a more complex problem arises. It could have been avoided if the person had heeded the warning signs.
—Always look out for chest tightness, pain in the arms or jaw, dizziness, shortness of breath when bending over. All this may be a signal that the heart can not cope with the load, — said the physician.
He listed the signs that should be the reason for going to the doctor:
- Dizziness when standing up
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty bending over
- Raised heart
- Chest tightness
- Arm pain , neck or forearms, often on the left
- Chest discomfort
- Swollen legs
- Heart rhythm problems (you feel your heart skip a beat or beat too fast) .
An adult with a healthy heart should be able to run two flights of stairs without getting out of breath, says the Bahai.
“You might think that not being able to run two flights of stairs could be due to “weak” lungs, lack of fitness, or weight gain, but it’s more likely due to heart problems, he says.
According to the study, 13 percent of respondents consider themselves too young to have heart problems, so they did not even think about visiting a cardiologist.
“Unfortunately, this is a misunderstanding as heart disease can affect people of all ages. And this is especially true in the era of coronavirus, which affects blood vessels even with asymptomatic course, the doctor concluded.
