Kakapusan sa Paghinga (Shortness of Breath)
Another common sintomas ng sakit sa puso is shortness of breath or difficulty catching your breath.
Shortness of breath might indicate that the heart is not pumping as effectively as it should, a common characteristic of heart failure. Because of ineffective pumping, the blood flows back into the lungs and fluid leaks, causing kakapusan sa paghinga. Likewise, it might also point to arrhythmia or problems in the blood vessels.
Pagmamanas (Swelling or Edema)
A heart that doesn’t function well may cause fluid buildup in the legs and ankles. So, if you notice pagmamanas, do not ignore it as it might indicate a heart defect, cardiomyopathy, heart infection, or valve disease.
Of course, there could be other explanations for edema. For instance, some antihypertensive drugs may result in swollen legs or feet.
Mabilis o Pabago-Bagong Pulso (Irregular Heartbeat)
When the heart doesn’t pump blood effectively, it might compensate by pumping faster, resulting in a fast or irregular heartbeat.
