Your heart works non-stop — beating over 100,000 times a day. But when it starts getting weak, the early signs are often so subtle that people ignore them.
Here are three silent signals your heart may be struggling:
1️⃣ Shortness of Breath During Simple Activities
If you feel breathless while climbing a few steps, walking fast, or doing light chores, it may be a sign your heart isn’t pumping enough blood.
✔ Happens suddenly
✔ Feels unusual for your normal fitness
✔ Gets worse when lying down
This is one of the most common early warning signs.
2️⃣ Chest Pressure or Tightness That Comes and Goes
Not sharp pain — but a dull pressure, heaviness, or tightness in the center of the chest.
✔ May feel like someone is pressing on your chest
✔ Can come and go
✔ Often ignored as “gas” or “stress”
This symptom should never be ignored.
3️⃣ Swelling in Feet, Ankles, or Legs
When the heart weakens, it can’t pump fluid effectively.
This causes fluid to collect in the lower body.
✔ Ankles look puffy
✔ Shoes feel tighter
✔ Swelling is worse in the evening
This is a classic sign of early heart weakness.
