Revealed…6 Surprising Signs of Heart Disease
Sexual problems, snoring, and bleeding gums are typically thought to be minor health problems.
And so, most people who experience the issues tend to just ignore them.
However, these seemingly insignificant problems are actually some common symptoms of heart disease – the number one killer in the world.
When the heart and arteries begin to fail, symptoms manifest in otherwise unrelated parts in the body, revealed Dr John Erwin, a cardiologist from Texas A&M Health Science Center.
Dr Erwin revealed six of the most common – and most surprising – symptoms of heart disease that people need to be aware of.
Keeping an eye out for these problems can lead to earlier detection of the disease – and help save lives, he said.
SYMPTOM 2: SNORING OR SLEEP APNEA
Few things are more frustrating in life than trying to sleep next to a snoring person.
However, despite the annoyance of snoring, Dr Erwin revealed it can actually be a sign of heart disease.
Snoring is a common sign of sleep apnea – as is morning sleepiness after a full night’s sleep.
Dr Erwin said: ‘Sleep apnea – periods of time during sleep where you stop breathing – is associated with many physiological changes that increase the risk of both heart attack and stroke.’
Snoring can also be a sign of atrial fibrillation – which is an irregular, often rapid heart rate that causes poor blood flow.
Therefore, detection and treatment of sleep apnea can lower a person’s risk of heart problems.
So, next time you hear the person next to you snoring, perhaps suggest they see a doctor – instead of just complaining about the noise.
