My dad had this. Right before he died he had one entire leg significantly bigger than the other. I asked him what was wrong and he had fear in his voice saying he didn't know. He suffered with a bad heart for about 15 years. He was one tough cookie. Survived heart surgery, 2 shoulder surgeries and a knee surgery. Dad, you did good for us. Rest in peace now
Thank you so much for sharing your father's story
That sad didn't check for blood clots
Just about two days before my heart attack, I had a slight discomfort above my chest.
1. Breathlessness in exertion or at night lying flat on back
2. Swelling of extremities, ankles, legs.
3. Weight gain of fluid build up.
4. Heart palpitations from beating fast to keep up with weakness.
5.tired. really tired...fatigue.
HE IS AT PEACE NOW AND WITH GOD ❤
I was diagnosed with Congestive heart failure six years ago. I got a new Metro Valve four years ago. I was feeling Great. But slowly I`m getting weaker and weaker. So at 79 my old heart is weakening again. I`m happy and have lived a full life. I`m not telling my Wife or Primary care Doctor. No more sugary`s for me. Thank you for this great information! It brings me real Peace!
Brave noble soul.🎉
Wow I admire your bravery in the face of death.
Maybe it’s side effects from the covid shots - so much coming out these days! Best wishes.
Love your story. You are strong and I like and respect your feelings.

1. Breathlessness
2. Swelling in ankles
3. Weight gain
4. Palpitations
5. General tiredness or fatigue
Thanks
Thanks. 👍
Just because you have palpitations doesn't mean it has anything to do with heart failure.
Best to sleep on your left side too
1. Breathlethneth 2. Thwelling in anklth 3. Weight gain 4. Palpitationth 5. General tiredneth or fatigue
My dad died of this disease days ago. I'm crushed, he had all the symptoms... his heart was so weak at the end. I love you Dad.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you kind stranger.
@@brianpistolwhip I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you. I had the best dad ever and he also had cardiac issues plus two different types of cancer. He passed away in 1996 and I still continue to miss him terribly. I will always remember him and the good times. Please keep the memories of your dad alive in your heart and mind. Sending you prayers and hope.🙏
My condolences for your loss. May he Rest in Peace.
At 82 years old, I manage my cardiovascular disease with my cardiologists help. Thanks for this checklist, I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks so much for posting this video!!!. All people should watch this. I was diagnosed with heart failure last year when I went to the emergency room with a bit tightness in my chest, and weakness and dizziness when I would stand up. Luckily, they diagnosed it quickly as a valve issue, and I had it fixed last July by a great team of doctors. I was lucky as mine was diagnosed relatively early. IF you know somebody with these symptoms, PLEASE take them to a doctor to get them checked out!
YOUR PRESENTATION IS ONE OF THE BEST...... CLARITY, SIMPLICITY, UNCLUTTERED, AND CHARISMATIC.......Thank you Doctor.
Thank you for your kind words
@@TheHeartDoctor And so handsome ! Don't worry, am not a stalker !
My late Brother at AF which caused a stroke & later cardiac failure. He lived with CF for 5 years until his death 18 months ago. Apparently that is a good innings for someone who was a smoker & overweight. I miss him every day
My mums brother died suddenly in a doorway after running to the neighbours house five hundred yards away for help when he had a water leak. He was only about 65, he wasn’t overweight,didn’t drink or smoke, was fit and did a fair bit of running. Anyone would think or believe that he would last till ninety. Mum couldn’t understand it so asked the pathologist. It turned out he died of “Angina of Effort”, ( Pheidippides Cardio Myopathy they call it now) . He said it’s caused by not stopping and easing up when your body tells you to.
At some stage maybe months or years before he strained his heart, probably running up hill and down dale. Hence the renaming, Pheidippides should have slowed down a bit when he approached Athens after running all the way from Marathon in 490BC. He was the best courier the Greeks had, a professional dispatch runner and he wasn’t very old either.
So as someone once said “ Hey, let’s be careful out there”. 😊
My mum had heart failure, fluid build up in ankles was the main symptom. Taking meds to control the fluid means going to pee about 20 times a day which is demanding especially when they rely on a carer. She died a year ago from sepsis infection from a small skin tear on her leg. Infection got the better of her failing heart within a day and that was that. It was a decent death after 85 years so can’t complain.
We’re all going to die, just can’t be sure how or when.
Thank you for getting right to the point. I have heart failure i have all the symptoms you mentioned. I'm attending a heart failure clinic at the moment unfortunately when i have energy i forget snd do too much
Diagnosed with HF last September when I couldn’t breathe one evening and was hospitalised. Now 7 months later I’m fine. I have daily medications and a 1500ml fluid restriction. My weight hasn’t increased, zero swelling, no problems lying flat and no tiredness, saw my cardiologist in December who said (after I had ECGs etcetra) that my heart was back to normal and the next appointment not for 6 months. But I have changed my lifestyle, regular exercise at gym, very low sodium and fresh foods only plus no alcohol I weigh myself daily
Thank you very much for sharing your story.
Thank God im gonna see my echo results may 16 hopefully is not my heart but my gut thats causing me breathing problems and tiredness . Lung x rays are clean
What a lovely gentleman, we need more like this ...👏👏👏
Thank you for getting right to the point.
Oh Yes, some doctors beat around the bush.
3 heart attacks and all symptoms you’ve mentioned. Had a Stent put in the LAD artery after one of the heart attacks where the LAD was 85% blocked, also had a cardiac ablation to help with the frequent episodic Atrial-Fibrillation. This helpful video works to clarify things. Thank you.👍🏽
Thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words
I have all of these symptoms but I feel pretty good and can keep up with my household. I got rheumatoid arthritis 15 years ago and that’s what started this meltdown. But I am in remission so meltdown is slow. None of this concerns me because I am 80 and this is normal and I have no fear. When it’s time I’ll go. Thank you for this interesting and informative video. 😊🌸
Breathlessness when I exert myself a bit too much where I had to stop everything while struggling to get my breath. I made 2 trips to emergency and 1 to my doctor. The doctors at emergency claims I wasn't having a heart attack. My MD just sent me home and told me to rest. I demanded a heart scan which turned up calcium buildup on my heart arteries. I started taking Cod Liver Oil which really help because the 2nd heart scan showed that the Calcium was mostly gone.
I never had any more problems until 2023 when I started having severe pain around my heart if I walked a little fast. But when I tried to mow my yard the pain really kicked in. I put my mower up and went to emergency again. And the next thing I knew I was taken by ambulance to the hospital in another city and was put in the ICU for a week where I had open heart surgery on April 13 2023. Keep my fingers crossed but I can walk fast, work out with weights and mow my yard again.
I had a friend who was in her yard raking...called her grand daughter to come outside and drove her to the hospital but she died on the way. I do yard work but I make sure to stop at anytime. God bless 🙏🙏
Great video!! Tiredness and the rest. Yes. All of the symptoms that you mentioned.
Im a caregiver, the sign you mentioned its really 💯%, I take care grandma and she just came from heart failure 😢😢😢
Thank you for keeping this message short and to the point.
Very well explained.
Last echocardiogram read indications of combined right and left congestive heart failure. Have an appointment Monday for a three month checkup. Constantly fatigued, breathless upon exertion, swelling in the lower legs, on 5 different blood pressure meds, and a general sense of unease all the time. Oh yes my weight is up almost 20 pounds in the last six months. Hoping for better news Monday but not holding my breath. Switching to a more plant based diet now.
And the rarely discussed 6th sign of heart failure is rigor mortis.
😅
🤣😂🤣
Dark humor. I like
Dr you share great information 😊
Currently have COPD, but I am experiencing the symptoms you mentioned, I go to do something then I have to rest. I do not tolerate the heat, I find that the most comfortable place for me is elevated in bed.
Copd c
Copd causes those symptoms as well.. your heart might be good
Breathlessness yes. Weightgain yes. Swelling yes. Palpitations yes. General tiredness, kind of. I'm able to go gym and still feel kinda energetic
Palpitations don’t mean heart failure 😂 could be a sign but doesn’t always mean it. I’m healthy and have them time to time.
Try nutritional yeast, great B complex
I used to have palitations left right and centre a few years ago. My GP ordered a few tests and all came back negative. I then did some research and decided to take magnesium. Wow, all my heart palpations were gone. I still get the occasional palpitarion but its reduced by 99%. Magnesium worked for me but everyone is different.
Same. By the time you get palpitations, you really need more Mg.
Me too
Me too. I also take Vitamin D with the Magnesium. Vitamin D and Magnesium work together. See RUclips video: “You’re Probably Taking your Vitamin D Wrong, and it Could be Dangerous (& Ineffective)” by Miche, PhD. I also take potassium with these, but you have to be especially carefully with the potassium because it can be dangerous if you get too much.
Great information
I currently have Asthma and Restrictive Impairment, Sleep Apnea, Gerd and other illnesses. Whewww, overwhelmed. I stay sick...chest tightness, shortness of breath, hoarse alot, etc My pulmonologist just made me appointment with heart doctors for a Carotid Doppler Ultrasound and Echo. I have a heart murmur, which have never given me problems. Because I felt dizzy recently, my head has a funny feeling and she heard a sound on my neck, she wanted me to take the tests. May be just Asthma and Gerd related, but glad she want to have me checked out to be sure nothing is going on with my heart and artery in the neck. I will take them next week. Praying all goes well.
Keep us updated. Im going to see my echo results may 16 i have sudden air hunger when active and exttreme fatigue also while active and shortness of breath. It all started after covid in 2021
What do you take for the GERD?
@@frankcantu1144I take Omeprazole at the moment and I used to take famotidine.
God bless you 🙏
My sister age 71 was diagnosed with afib about six or seven years ago and just recently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She had an incident about a week ago where she woke up and could not breathe. She managed to retrieve a neighbor to get her to the hospital instead of calling 911. She left the hospital after four days of observation with a permanent oxygen tank. I fear I may lose her this year. She has all the symptoms, except I have not heard her complain about feeling tired all the time.
Thank you for this explanation - I ended up in A&E on Saturday - I had funny tingling down one arm, and in two fingers on the same hand, with a feeling of discomfort across the top of my chest. I have previously had severe covid, and was diagnosed last year with Covid induced asthma. My blood pressure had also gone up from normal to around 145/95 (this is abnormal for me).
I have complained for nearly four years that my heart feels out of whack since I had covid. So they did an ECG, took bloods etc, and said I was fine, and sent me home. The only new thing I learnt was that I now have Sinus Arrhythmia (something I didnt have pre-covid, as I had an ECG a few years before).
I am concerned they didnt do a scan of the coronary arteries, while I was there - so intend to pick up with my GP tomorrow.
Hence why I am here, double checking stuff - thank you for leaving this for us all to read.
Me too,..pre covid, fine, post covid 1/22-2/22,...severe respiratory probs,..SOB instantly with extreme exertion,...HBP 170's/90's-117's,...now after 2yrs +3 bp meds is finally 130/80-85.....A1-C is high and went from 155 to 180,...covid fried my brain w/high fevee for 2 wks n bad headache same time period...think the fever rewired my conectivity,...im 59,....not well but alive, but not living.
Thank you kind sir. Straight to the facts 👍 i just keep moving and rest when i want. 🙏🙏🙏 to all
I went to the ER last week with the cardiac issues. My heart was beating too fast for a few seconds, and then it would go back to normal. This kept happening and I was dizzy. The cardiologist told me that I had a potassium deficiency and that my echocardiogram looked normal.
Thank you Dr.Hafiz
Diagnosed with heart failure about 18 months ago, with recommendation for urgent operation to kick start the heart to get it back to the correct rythm. Had one op, and was told it was sucessful. Not long after went for a check-up, and was told the heart had reversed back to it's old rythm, and a second op was required... 12 months later, am still waiting for the second op..🙄🙄 73 years of age , and cycling a lot,,, the cycling seems to work better than the heart op..
I have heart failure. Diagnosed after a breathless experience 8 years ago. No swelling but weight gain. Need at least two pillows to sleep. Hope for another 8 years at least. I am 75 now.
I have heart failure and I experience weight gain,fatigue, breathless and swollen feet
Scary..
Carnivore or low carb diet. Look at all the success stories on RUclips.😊
Thanks for that doc. Most informative. I'll subscribe to help you.
Great video Dr. Thank you looking forward to your other videos.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Thank you Doctor for your lucid explanation of heart failure signs…I wake up breathless at night sometimes and have experienced the tiredness you describe. I lead an active life otherwise…eg walking 3-4miles per day and have a large garden to tend. I am currently taking candersatan and bisoprolol as recommended by my GP and a daily dosage of edoxaban to manage BP. Other than this I am fortunate to be able to do what I do. My weight is stable at 111/2 stone (6’) high. I also have knee strengthening exercises daily as recommended byNHS physios to manage osteoarthritis. I am 79…just keep bashing on really!!
Thank you so much.
I had swelling, terrible fatigue, occasional slight breathlessness, my chest was
😮always tight but I have MS so that’s what I thought it was. I went to hospital for one night and they said nothing, I was sent for echocardiogram I got a phone call at home one Saturday from my local hospital saying I had had a heart attack and my left ventricle was damaged, heart only working at45% …..j couldn’t believe it, was so shocked . Apparently I’d had a silent heart attack and I had no idea. I was terrified but apart from medication I ha E never seen a cardiologist, or had any t
Cardio MRI…nothing. It’s terrible I’m in U K and the NHS is failing y fast.
Swelling of the ankles and weight gain are my two major concerns. I do take all kinds of medications for other things which may contribute, but I do have a heart murmur also.
thanks doc
I was born in the early 1970's with Tetralogy of Fallot. In 1976 I had my first open heart surgery where at that time the surgery dealt with a patch being inserted in the heart. In 2003 I had my second open heart surgery where my pulmunary valve was replaced with a pig valve. It was around this time I started getting tired and found out I had CHF. 2010 was the doozy: Open heart surgery number three. I had my pulmonary valve replaced (with a homograft), mitral valve replaced, bicuspid valve replaced along with a twisted ascending aorta, and chordae "flopping" around on one of the valves. On top of this, I am on my third AICD. I have had chronic tiredness for years but still seem to get up and go.
Thank you Doctor. Could you also tell us what is the treatment and how can one prevent heart failure.
We will keep clicking and our hearts will hopefully keep ticking. Mold allergies are similiar. Nice video.
In the early stages of my diagnosis and I have all 5 symptoms. I suffer with Afib 100% of the time which makes my breathlessness worse along with sleep apnea, I have a pacemaker for bradycardia and have tachycardia, the combination of all my symptoms causes my pre syncope and Vasovagal Syncope to worsen. And because I am really greedy I have PTSD
I have a Transthoracic echocardiogram in 10 days, hopefully we can confirm my diagnosis. Thank you
Hi there, was wonder how are you doing now?
Wow and I thought I had it bad. Hang in there Stephen it is worth it. I found that Keto and prayer help me the most. I had Afib fixed when I had 5x bypass and Aflutter which IMO is worse fixed with an ablation. Have had Bradycardia for 50+ years. Because I am greedy CHF was not sufficient so I added Mitral Valve Regurgitation which puts a hamper on exercise but I still walk 2 miles a day. Last EF was in the normal range but getting retested soon. I get O2 piped into my CPAP which helps with sleep and breathing.
Curious if your doctors have tried you on Flecainide. I was in constant A-fib for over a year before a hospitalization where they started the Flecainide the night before being discharged. I haven't had a single episode since that day March 2023.
I was diagnosed with a hole in my heart , just last December 2022, I was 55 at the time , I was supposed to go get something done, to close the hole but die to other health issues I couldn't go do it and now , it feels like its grating against the b4estbone , and I get palpitations , feels so strange , I believe its heart disease now due to other issues. Keep lifted
🙏
I have SVT, fast beats, slow beats. I'm 61 and started working out 3 years ago 3-4 days a week. I've lost 50 lbs and feel like I did when I was 50 and working out. I'm going down swinging!!!
6 months after quadruple bypass started having shortness of breath. Now having palpitations. All test done on heart and lungs showed nothing abnormal. Would like to know what is causing all this .
Thank you❤
I have COPD and pulmonary hypertension and lately I get tried alot and sweating badly swollen ankles and pain in chest is that a part of pulmonary hypertension.
What about a lingering cold and sniffles for more than a month? Thanks!
I also experience light headedness which I ascribe to a shortage of oxygen due to a lower EF?
I have these 5 symptoms. I I mistaken it was asthma
I kept taking medication for asthma. I suffered almost 3 months with this symptom s.fon the end O Hospitalized with heart failure. My R F level is 35.please can you help me.I am fro. Sro lanka
Thank you for your presentation. By chance, have you done one on LBBB (left branch bundle block)? I did not have fluid build up, but I started having fainting episodes. The night time ones when I was in bed were the worst. I would feel VERY tired, fall asleep. The next thing my wife was waking me up. I was sweating, nausea, bowel movement etc. Eventually I was told I had LBBB and a pacemaker has been fitted.
My next door neighbour died of a massive heart attack a few years back, and for a few months before he died, I could hear him vomiting quite frequently. I always wondered if this had something to do with him having a bad heart.
I fell scapula pain without chest pain but i am suffering from cealic dosease so i fell shortness of breath due to indigestion
I have a bicuspid aortic valve and I experience chronic fatigue. Sometimes I feel dizzy if I stand up, and I nearly fell into the door. I also have mild stenosis and moderate regurgitation, and my left ventricle is enlarged. Am I showing signs of early heart failure?
I have heart failure sometimes when I stress out I feel pain on the left side, I feel so nervous
I do have palpitations rather often, but no heart failure so far.
I have oedema, breathlessness and rarely AFib. BNP at 120. Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction.
Yet told that the echogram shows a strong heart action. Hence not in heart failure. Breathlessness partly attributed to poorer lung function. Hilar lymph nodes, opacity and glanulomatous disease. I am confused. I’m 73 years old male at 110 kgs.
I’m in Darwin Australia, I have had AF for a long time, it started when I was about 20, and used to come and go, most often only for a hour or two before going back to sinus rhythm, then in 2016, something felt like it broke in my chest, and AF was happening, silly me waiting for it to go back to sinus rhythm, but after two weeks ( not a good move) went to the hospital to get it checked out. Well after cardio version, nothing, it was permanently in AF, and about a week later after lots of tests heart failure set in, along with cardiomyopathy, hypertension, and ischemia ( sorry not sure of what type), so, now 8 years later still heart failure, and cardiomyopathy, fatigued all the time, breathless all the time, and very fed up with being incapacitated, as I was always very active and hard working, a loved my sports, now nothing I can’t walk more than 40 metres
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
LBBB has heart valves fighting each other, causing most of those symptoms in my case. A resynchronization pacemaker fixed everything.
Ejection fraction went from 28% to 45% (which is great).
My greatest symptom was dizziness upon standing after being crouched down doing manual labor. Sometimes so bad i would have hallucinations for a minute.
Blood pressures were not high. It was causing an enlarged heart and congestive failure (according to my surgeon)
I am 80 and been very healthy except for A-Fib which I have had many years! I was diagnosed when By a cardiologist several years ago and started on medication! I was born with my dad’s DNAand he died of a massive heart attack at age 64. I have been under the care of my cardiologist for a number of years and undergone several Cardioversion which did not last. Two years ago I had a permanent pacemaker implanted
with no problem except for very negative reaction from the anesthesia! I have done well since then but my Ejected Fraction was about 35-40
Good day Dr 😅 thank you so much for this post . I've been battling the llast few months with palpitations up to 150 / min ..it's coming abd going ..usually when I move my arms a lot ..like sweeping or hanging washing ..or even combing my hair .. this happened suddenly . I'm 85 years old .have never been sick . I had covid x3 .but survived only to have brain fog for 3 years now .dripping from my eyes all day ..no cure .and now tge palpitations. My heart beat slow 52 . My overheats good ..my weight 50 kilo . Please advise.
Brilliant presentation. I will be subscribing to your channel ❤
i've had hf since 2017. i had the 5 bypass surgery. afterwards, i still couldn't excert myself, i still can't.
lately i've had to call the ambulance twice because i couldn't breathe. the specialist took me of carvedidol and put me on water pills, i feel great but still have no energy. sometimes if i extend myself too much ( very little ) i feel sick to my stomach. at 85 i guess i can't expect much more.
Hi @The Heart Doctor,
Two years back I encountered a sharp pain in my left chest after one day of taking the third coronavirus vaccine (Mordana). I struggled to breathe for approximately 20 minutes, then the discomfort reoccurred after a 10-minute interval, persisting for another 20 minutes. I promptly dialed 911 and was admitted to the emergency room. Despite a thorough examination, the doctors couldn't identify any apparent issues. Subsequently, my family doctor recommended checking my cholesterol levels, revealing alarmingly high results.
Upon learning about the potential side effects of cholesterol medication, I opted for a lifestyle change. I started going to the gym, and last year, I didn't experience any issues. However, this year, my diet became a bit lax with the occasional indulgence in carbs and Costco cakes, leading to a recurrence of symptoms. I sought emergency care, but once again, doctors found no clear issues. Now, my family doctor has advised me to consult with a specialist.
The doctors are probably never tell you part or all of the truth which is because you getting a jab
It could be a hiatal hernia - similar symptoms.
Do you mean Acute heart failure ? Or which are the commonest sym and siges for Acute" hertil failure?. Thz
I had the first 2 symptoms it was all cause by to much salt 🧂 try eliminating salt for one month and see what happens! In the beginning I thought it was the cold weather but the I realized it was the salt I stop using salt the I was able to breathe better because I was not retaining water! It’s not easy because you can’t eat out!
I had palvertations on the left side of my collar bone in front of my neck dose that concern the heart please
I have all 5 of those symptoms as well as occasional vertigo or dizziness. My doc said my swollen ankles and hairless lower legs are due to broken valves in my lower legs thus allowing a back flow. My breathing is hard at times and gets bad if I lie on my back. How do I push my doc for heart tests ?I cannot go for tests without a GPs reference.
Whats the best heart test to take??
Just been diagnosed with this after years of putting my symptoms down to various ailments like asthma, anaemia, depression. I have experienced all symptoms mentioned and recent testing shows I have AF.
The only thing i have of all those is heart palpitations. Its not all the time but when it happens it can go on for awhile. I usually do deep breathing exercises to get control of it. It can be concerning at times.
Can bringing the bp too low by medication bring on some of these symptoms. How low would be over treatment when someone is home resting ? Maybe under 100/60
Good evening my heart is beating fast the doctor said that today
My heart showed all these symptoms at the same time. Now my heart doc is checking my adrenal and pineal gland and 24 hr urine. I have tachycardia and sometimes a fib as well as a left ventricular bundle branch block. Where do I go from here? My cardiologist is handling my case and my breathing is bad and I dizziness. My bp hangs from 160 to over 200 and heart rate over 100
.
I'm experiencing 4 of the 5 symptoms you described. All but the palpitations. I went to the cardiologist a week ago and he did an EKG and said it looked fine. Also my heart rate was 70 but at home it is usually at 60 so I think that is good. He did a stress test 2 years ago and said it looked very good. I went on a keto diet 2 years ago and lost 20 pounds but still have too big of a belly. I'm sure I have insulin resistance. I wish I could reverse this but I'm not convinced it is possible. Maybe chelation treatments.
My cardiologist said shes doesn't know why im short of breath. Lolol she needs too go back to school. TY!
Hello Doctor My Heart Efficiency is 30% and I couldn’t breathe properly last week as water went in the lungs. They prescribed me Entresto and BP meds with water pills too. Will this heart efficiency improve in next 6-9 months if I take precautions of healthy eating, no alcohol and no smoking as I quite addictions?
Just curious how you know that your heart is working at 30% ? Did you have a specific test for this? Thank you in advance.
I've had heart failure since i was diagnosed in 2004 had a double heart bypass in 2001.16th of April, I had an MRI scan of my heart. My cardiologist thinks I may need a pacemaker fitted. I have 28% ejection fraction
Thank you for sharing.
I was diagnosed with congenital heart failure a few years ago but it started, as l was informed, many years before, when l was hospitalized with pneumonia, and had to breath through an outlet in the wall of the hospital that delivered oxygen to my lungs. I remember it was extremely painful. I got better, but the damage was done done, and it resulted in the condition l now have. I get breathless when moving about, and caugh a lot, especially when l am in bed. Caugh drops help a little, and for a short time. I have nasal congestion, and am constantly blowing my nose both during the day and the night. I am allergic to dust, and cannot use paper handkerchiefs and use cloth handkies, which get soaked .l have a good supply of them, as l don't want to be doing laundry more than necessary. ( very tiring), taking me most if the day to put things away. I live in an independant living facility, but doon't mix much with the other residents , as their constant complaining of their health problems bother me, and l keep mine to myself, or to professionals that l am in contact with once a month. 😂😮😅😅😅
How painful was it
If you take meds with the ending....... april, that stuff can cause severe coughing as a side effect. Since I cut that stuff out, my coughing stopped.
My mother died from heart failure. Her feet were swollen and she complained she couldn't breathe. My son had her taken to the hospital, where she died 2 days later. She was 98 years old, and her heart was worn out.
I know someone whi gets tired when running and always want to take a rest all the time unknownymous
I have every single one of the symptoms you mentioned. Every one.
I am suffering from all these symptoms plus a heart murmur my gp said he had never heard until recently. However I was discharged by the cardio nurse as not having a strong chest pain. I’m now left floundering. Thank you dr
I am having some poin straight to ma heart sometimes I feel like a poin just for 5sc ..sometimes it comes every 5sc again and again..
Sometimes longer
My aunt has all the symptoms. She has advanced heart failure and kidney failure stage 4. Right now she is in hospital, because she got syncopes. Can that be from heart failure?
Syncope has lots of causes but heart failure can certainly cause light headedness. I wish your aunt a speedy recovery and thank you for sharing.

What about bloating and high blood pressure is there connection between heart problems or acid reflux?
Possibly. Sometimes stress can trigger acid reflux which causes blood pressure to rise. I experienced this my self
The older one gets the worse to these symptoms get.. release stress!!!
A very good video.
I have the AVR diagnoses and very tired.
Hi, Good informative video. Have also heard lot of heart attacks were linked to previous few days of motion sickness and unemptied intestines with fermentation gas formation. These Gases get entrapped inside the heart pump or in the arteries and creates the air trap issue making the heart pump failing to pump, which becomes a heart attack...As per yogic practices, this gas is called Apana vayu and there is always gas attack...Can you pls do some research on this and find the truth ? Thank you.
I find myself hard to breathe in the night
Had a very serious heart attack 5 years ago which necessitated 3 stents being inserted. I had no warning just came upon me one Sunday morning. Damn painful. At first I was worried that I was going to die and after 10 minutes was worried that I was not going to die, it was that painful. Death does not bother me, pain does though!
