0.12 -> Cardiovascular disease is the
leading cause of death in the
3.72 -> United States, with one person dying every 34
seconds due to an underlying heart condition.
10.56 -> To avoid becoming part of these statistics,
you must take responsibility and preventive
15.66 -> measures to avoid severe heart complications.
But what are the symptoms of an underlying
21.36 -> heart condition? Stick around till
the end of today’s video because we’ll
26.04 -> cover the warning signs and symptoms
that your heart may be in trouble.
30.24 -> hey viewers,
I'm doctor Sophia Farl and welcome to the Lovers
34.08 -> of good health channel, before we begin, kindly
use some time to subscribe to this lovely channel
39.6 -> and leave us a like on this video to support the
channel. thanks for doing that, now let's begin.
46.5 -> 1. First up: Do you notice
swelling in your lower limbs?
50.82 -> You may have something called edema;
53.28 -> this condition causes the appearance
of puffy legs, ankles, and feet.
57.72 -> Edema occurs because too much fluid is
trapped inside your body’s tissues.
63.06 -> When you press your skin, it might produce
a dimpling effect known as “pitting.”
68.16 -> Edema is one of the initial signs of congestive
heart failure due to sodium and water retention.
74.7 -> Do you feel like you’re dragging your legs
as the end of the day approaches? One
79.8 -> of the contributing factors to edema is gravity.
As you go about your day, fluid accumulates in
86.22 -> your lower body, and if you’re standing for most
of the day, the condition will become more severe.
91.74 -> Those with edema should regularly raise
their legs and keep them elevated when
95.94 -> they get the chance, so that fluid can
flow back to the rest of their body.
100.62 -> Wearing compression garments and reducing
your salt intake can also be of help.
105.96 -> 2. Next up is excessive hair loss on your legs.
109.86 -> Have you been losing your hair, not
just on your head but on your legs too?
114.9 -> Studies have shown that hair loss on your legs,
especially your shins, and thighs, is a vital
120.54 -> sign of peripheral artery disease, a condition
where the arteries in your legs become blocked.
126.42 -> Your blood is responsible for supplying nutrients
and oxygen throughout your body, and when there
131.76 -> is restricted blood flow to your legs, your hair
follicles fall short of these vitals, affecting
137.16 -> your hair growth. Peripheral artery disease
is dangerous and requires immediate attention.
143.76 -> If one of your arteries is partially blocked,
146.22 -> then there is a fair chance other arteries
could be blocked too. Blockages occur due
151.74 -> to the buildup of plaque deposits in your blood
vessels and can lead to heart attacks and stroke.
157.86 -> 3. If there are soft, yellowish
deposits on your upper eyelids,
161.82 -> your heart might be in trouble.
Those with cardiovascular issues
166.38 -> often develop small, light-colored
plaques or papules on the upper eyelids,
170.52 -> which are lipid-rich deposits primarily made up of
cholesterol. This condition is called xanthelasma.
177.84 -> Around 50% of people with xanthelasma
have unbalanced lipid profiles,
182.7 -> meaning their HDL, LDL cholesterol, and
triglycerides levels are on a roller coaster
189.18 -> ride which can be extremely harmful to your body.
High LDL cholesterol and triglycerides can cause
195.9 -> plaque buildup in your arteries, restricting
the blood flow to your heart and hampering its
201.12 -> ability to pump blood effectively, leading
to cardiac issues. Xanthelasma is commonly
207.3 -> in those with diabetes, low HDL (or good
cholesterol) levels, fatty diet, excess
213.72 -> alcohol intake, and weight gain, all of which
are significant risk factors for heart diseases.
220.2 -> 4. Moving on, have you noticed a white or
gray ring around the outer part of your cornea?
226.08 -> This grayish outer ring is called arcus senilis
and is a build-up of lipids, mainly cholesterol.
232.68 -> The cornea is the outer layer of your
eye which is transparent and round.
237.54 -> Beneath the cornea lies the iris, the colored
part of your eye that controls the amount of light
242.94 -> that enters your pupil. Arcus senilis can make it
seem like your iris has two colors, but it is the
249.6 -> cornea's discoloration due to high cholesterol.
This common age-related condition is mostly
255.48 -> harmless and doesn’t necessarily require
medical intervention. However, those below
261.84 -> 50 with a gray ring around their cornea
might experience dyslipidemia, a condition
266.22 -> where they have high cholesterol (LDL or
bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels.
272.64 -> 5. Did you know a poor healing leg
ulcer could indicate a developing heart issue?
278.34 -> Leg ulcers are open sores on the skin,
often caused by an injury. They are normal and
284.82 -> can happen to anyone; however, there is cause for
concern if the sore takes longer than expected
289.92 -> to heal. In such circumstances, you are most
susceptible to bacterial infection, which can lead
296.46 -> to sepsis. Sepsis is your body’s extreme response
to an infection and is life-threatening.
303.3 -> Poor blood circulation slows down the
healing process, making your wounds chronic.
309.06 -> Blockages of blood vessels can cause
such alterations in blood flow due to
313.92 -> the development of plaque in the inner lining of
your arteries. This is known as atherosclerosis.
320.88 -> This damage could also occur due
to diabetes because high blood
325.08 -> sugar can damage your arteries and have the
same effects as peripheral artery disease.
331.14 -> So far, we have discussed the subtle
signs that your heart may be in trouble.
336 -> Now let’s look at the immediate symptoms
of an underlying cardiovascular condition
340.32 -> that you should never ignore.
1. Shortness of breath or dyspnea: Does climbing
346.26 -> a few stairs leave you gasping for air? Or does a
brisk walk seem too much for you? If you struggle
353.22 -> to catch your breath during everyday activities,
and no amount of rest has been able to solve it.
359.34 -> It’s probably because of an imminent
cardiac event such as a stroke or heart attack.
365.1 -> 2. Chest pain is a hallmark symptom of a heart
problem. Also known as angina, reduced blood
372.24 -> causes unexplained discomfort in your
chest in the form of a dull ache.
377.04 -> Sometimes, it may manifest as sharp stabbing pain,
380.1 -> and your chest may feel tightened, making it
difficult for you to breathe. It seems tempting
385.92 -> to dismiss it as a muscle strain; however,
ignoring this symptom can prove fatal.
391.56 -> 3. Pain in arms, neck, and shoulders:
If chest pain gradually moves to the
396.84 -> other parts of your body, especially the area
surrounding your heart, like your arms, neck,
401.94 -> shoulders, and back, this could signify
an impending heart attack. You feel pain
407.64 -> throughout your limbs because a nearby accessory
nerve becomes irritated, causing discomfort.
413.64 -> 4. Nausea is a common symptom of heart problems in
females. However, males are not immune to it and
421.08 -> can feel like vomiting in the case of a
heart attack. Although this symptom often
425.82 -> gets ignored in light of an upset stomach, it is
crucial to watch the symptoms accompanying nausea.
432.12 -> 5. Cold sweats: Normally, cold sweats are due to
anxiety, pain, hormonal fluctuation, low blood
439.86 -> sugar, or infections; however, If you feel sweaty
and clammy, accompanied by shortness of breath
445.98 -> and pain in your chest or upper body, this
is a silent indication of a heart attack.
451.02 -> 6. Have you been coughing incessantly?
Is your phlegm white or pink? This could
457.38 -> be due to accumulated fluid in the alveoli,
tiny air sac in your lungs that carries and
462.6 -> transports oxygen throughout your body.
This coughing is known as cardiac asthma; despite
468.66 -> its name, it is not a form of asthma. Cardiac
asthma is coughing or wheezing that occurs
474.66 -> due to congestive heart failure, which can
lead to buildup in the lungs and airways.
480.3 -> 7. Constant fatigue is a significant
symptom of a heart condition.
485.34 -> When your heart cannot pump enough oxygen, it
fails to fulfill the energy demands of your body.
491.4 -> Due to this, you feel a sudden drop in
your energy levels, and the chores which
496.02 -> were earlier very easy for you to do, seem more
challenging to get through, and you feel worn out.
502.26 -> 8. An Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
is a common symptom of a heart issue.
508.32 -> Exercises, running, smoking, stress, or use
of marijuana and alcohol are the usual causes
515.28 -> behind a fluttering heart.
However, if you’re sitting at
519.12 -> home and experiencing palpitations,
this could signify heart failure.
523.92 -> A rapid heartbeat is usually compensating
for being unable to pump blood properly.
529.5 -> 9. You feel dizzy. When your heart cannot pump
effectively, your oxygen supply becomes severely
536.28 -> disrupted, and your body parts might
not receive an adequate oxygen supply.
541.74 -> This will lead to your blood pressure dropping
to dangerous levels, and a reduced blood supply
546.84 -> to your brain may result in lightheadedness.
If you notice these signs in yourself or a
552.78 -> loved one, don’t hesitate to act, or it could be
too late. Seek timely medical assistance and give
559.8 -> yourself another chance at a healthy and vivacious
life. Have you noticed any of these signs lately?
