Common questions
What is heart disease?
Heart disease is when the heart isn’t working the way it should. Your heart moves blood all around the body. Sometimes, the blood can’t flow well because the blood vessels are blocked or narrowed. This makes the heart work harder, resulting in disease.
What are the biggest risk factors for heart disease?
Some of the most common risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, lack of physical activity, poor diet, and family history. Monitoring these factors and making lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk.
What are the most common symptoms of heart disease?
Heart disease can present in different ways, and symptoms may not always be obvious. Some people may experience no symptoms at all until a serious event, like a heart attack or stroke, occurs. That’s why proactive care and working with your health care providers is so important. Even if you feel fine, regular checkups and health screenings can help detect issues early.
Some of the most common signs include:
- Chest pain or tightness – it might feel like someone is sitting on your chest.
- Feeling tired all the time – even when you didn’t do much.
- Shortness of breath – it’s hard to breathe, even when you’re just walking.
- Swelling in the legs or feet – this can happen when the heart can’t circulate blood well.
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded – you might feel like you’re going to faint.
