Doctors have named a symptom of severe heart disease that is more dangerous than shortness of breath

Shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling - there are a lot of symptoms that require diagnosis, as they may be associated with the development of ailments of the cardiovascular system.

But there are also a number of signs that many people do not pay attention to for a while. For example, the pallor of the skin. There is another rather alarming external feature that can warn of heart disease. It, like other "atypical signs", is sometimes ignored by patients.

As cardiologist Hrant Shekhyan, M.D., noted, "in the far advanced stages of heart disease, an outward sign of the disease can be a dull stare directed in an unclear direction."

"As well as deterioration of mental abilities," emphasized the specialist, adding that we are talking about stages that lead to deterioration of blood supply and oxygen starvation of the brain. According to the specialist, a person in this condition tires too quickly. He is inattentive, slow and sleepy.

As for the appearance of shortness of breath, which many immediately perceive as a "bright" symptom of heart disease, it is important to understand where it came from. As previously noted cardiologist Anna Korenevich, "the most common cause of shortness of breath is banal detraining."

"To get rid of this cause, you need to start training, but first you need to rule out heart failure, anemia and thyroid problems," - said the doctor. Shortness of breath can also be present in obesity.

Cardiologist Hrant Shekhyan reminded that with possible heart ailments, shortness of breath first appears during significant physical activity. Later, if the condition is ignored, the problem worsens. "Dyspnea occurs even with small efforts - for example, when a person is tying shoelaces. In the future, dyspnea torments even at rest," the doctor warned.
