In today’s fast-paced world, heart disease remains a leading cause of death globally. Recognizing the early warning signs is crucial for timely intervention and effective treatment. At WCHH Hospital, we strive to educate our community about the importance of cardiac care and the symptoms that should never be ignored.

Common Symptoms of Heart Issues

• Chest Pain: Often described as pressure or squeezing, chest pain can indicate a heart attack. It’s essential to seek immediate medical attention if you experience this symptom.
• Shortness of Breath: Whether during activity or at rest, difficulty breathing can signal heart problems and should not be overlooked.
  Unusual Fatigue: Persistent fatigue, especially if it limits daily activities, can be an early warning sign of heart disease, particularly in women.
• Irregular Heartbeats: Experiencing palpitations, racing heartbeats, or a fluttering sensation may indicate arrhythmias that require medical evaluation.
• Swelling in Legs or Feet: Edema can suggest heart failure or fluid buildup, necessitating a prompt assessment.
