Symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and unstable blood pressure may seem mild at first but can signal underlying heart disease. Regular cardiovascular screening is an effective way to detect issues early and prevent serious complications.

TÓM TẮT BÀI VIẾT

1. Common Symptoms of Heart Disease

1.1. Chest Pain

Chest pain is one of the most common signs of a heart attack, though it may not always be intense or sudden. Some people feel mild tightness, squeezing, or burning that can be mistaken for heartburn. The discomfort may come and go within minutes.

1.2. Neck or Jaw Pain

A heart attack can cause pain that radiates to the neck, shoulders, or lower jaw, either on one or both sides. Some people may feel stiffness or a burning sensation in the throat that is easily confused with respiratory issues.

1.3. Back or Arm Pain

Men often experience pain in the left arm, while women may feel discomfort in the upper or lower back. The pain may stem from the chest or appear suddenly—even disturbing sleep. If unexplained and unrelated to muscles or joints, it could signal heart problems.

1.4. Dizziness, Fainting, and Nausea

Feeling lightheaded or about to faint may indicate the heart isn’t pumping enough blood to the brain due to low blood pressure. Nausea or loss of appetite without a digestive cause can also be a red flag for heart conditions.

1.5. Unusual Fatigue

Sudden exhaustion with no exertion or feeling abnormally tired doing routine tasks may indicate heart disease. Ongoing fatigue, trouble sleeping, or feeling drained after light activity warrants medical attention.

1.6. Persistent Cough or Wheezing

A chronic cough or wheezing can indicate heart failure. When the heart fails to pump effectively, fluid can accumulate in the lungs, making breathing difficult and causing crackling sounds during inhalation.

1.7. Sweating and Shortness of Breath

Even without exertion, some may experience cold sweats, chills, or general discomfort. Others may breathe rapidly or feel breathless just lying down. Symptoms may worsen when lying flat.

1.8. Reduced Physical Capacity

Fatigue, weakness, or difficulty walking can be caused by reduced blood and oxygen supply to the muscles. At first, climbing stairs may be tiring—later, even dressing or moving around the house becomes difficult.

1.9. Swelling in Legs and Ankles

If the legs, feet, or ankles swell without injury, heart failure could be the cause. Poor heart function leads to fluid retention in the tissues. The kidneys may also struggle to eliminate salt and water, worsening the swelling.

1.10. Loud Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Loud, nightly snoring may be more than a habit—it could signal sleep apnea, a condition that raises the risk of atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. If untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious heart complications and even be life-threatening.

1.11. Irregular Heartbeat

Palpitations, rapid heartbeat, or irregular rhythm may occur as the heart tries to compensate for poor circulation. Arrhythmias—especially atrial fibrillation (AFib)—can lead to blood clots and stroke. Even without noticeable symptoms, patients may feel tired, breathless, or dizzy.

1.12. Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction may be an early warning of cardiovascular disease. Arteries supplying blood to the penis can become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup—similar to atherosclerosis in the heart. Inadequate blood flow affects performance. Men experiencing persistent symptoms should seek early medical advice.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

Chest pressure, tightness, or heaviness
Pain spreading to shoulders, back, neck, or arms
Unexplained shortness of breath
Dizziness, fainting
Sudden sweating and nausea

2. Benefits of Comprehensive Cardiovascular and Hypertension Screening

Proactive heart and blood pressure screenings offer a full assessment of heart health and help detect risk factors early. Comprehensive screening includes:

Blood pressure & heart rate monitoring: Detects hypertension, arrhythmia, or other cardiovascular issues.
Blood chemistry tests: Measures cholesterol, blood sugar, uric acid, and electrolytes to assess risk of atherosclerosis, diabetes, and heart disease.
Disease risk assessment: Identifies early warning signs to guide lifestyle changes and prevent complications.
