Palpitations, skipped beats, or a racing heart without exertion can signal underlying heart issues.
5. Swelling in Ankles, Feet, or Legs
Fluid buildup may occur when the heart’s pumping efficiency decreases. Swelling in the lower extremities is a subtle but important sign.
6. Dizziness or Lightheadedness
Feeling faint, dizzy, or unusually weak can result from poor blood circulation to the brain caused by early heart stress.
Important Note
If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Early detection and intervention can prevent a full-blown heart attack.
