Heart-related deaths among young people in India are increasing rapidly. It's important to take extra precautions to detect unauthorised changes and seek medical advice.

CHEST PAIN OR DISCOMFORT

Chest pain, tightness, or discomfort especially during physical activity could be a sign of underlying heart disease and needs to be evaluated in early stages.

SHORTNESS OF BREATH

When there is trouble breathing or even feeling out of breath for no reason other than fatigue, it might be an indication that the heart fails to perform its regulatory role and this should be further investigated medically.

PALPITATIONS OR IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT

The rate of the pace and emotional sensitivity was quite low. The occurrence of fluttering sensations or irregular heartbeat patterns may be an indication that arrhythmias and other cardiovascular illnesses necessitate evaluation by a healthcare provider.

SWELLING IN THE LEGS, FEET, OR ANKLES

Edema of the lower extremities for no apparent reason may suggest heart failure or any other circulatory problem and should be watched over by a physician.

UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT GAIN

When the body ‘swells’ or gets enlarged for shortness of breath, this might also result from fluid retention as a sign that they have been caused by heart problems and so; such gains in weight occur overnight or within just days.

NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION

Persistent nausea, indigestion or discomfort in the upper abdominal area, especially if associated with other symptoms and their strong persistence should be attributed to a pathology of the cardiovascular system.

DIZZINESS OR FAINTING SPELLS

Heart-related problems such as frequent dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting spells especially when overdoing result in prescriptions from medical experts.

FAMILY HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE

People with inherited forms of heart disease or early cardiac events are at risk, and they should get regular monitoring as well as preventive action in their healthcare.

CONCLUSION

By being aware of the warning signs and knowing what to be careful about, we can take steps to prevent such tragedies and ensure a healthy future for ourselves and our loved ones.
