Dizziness & Lightheadedness
Lightheadedness and dizziness are not enough to prove you have heart disease. It can sometimes be caused by standing too fast or dehydration, and it’s a sign to be concerned if it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as tightness in the chest.
Many things can cause dizziness and lightheadedness, so it is essential to consult your doctor.
Fatigue
Fatigue can occur as a symptom of heart disease for a variety of reasons and is often overlooked or attributed to other causes such as stress or lack of sleep. When the heart is not functioning properly due to a heart condition such as heart failure, the body may not be receiving enough oxygen-rich blood to meet its needs. This can cause fatigue, weakness, and a general feeling of tiredness.
If you are experiencing fatigue that is severe, persistent, or interfering with your daily activities, it is important to visit your doctor to determine the underlying cause. If your healthcare provider suspects that your fatigue may be related to heart disease, they may recommend a variety of diagnostic tests, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, stress test, or cardiac catheterization, to assess your heart function and diagnose any underlying heart conditions.
