4 abnormalities warning of heart disease that is silently affecting your health

The heart has the function of pumping blood and providing oxygen and nutrients to each cell. Therefore, when the heart has problems, the body will begin to show some abnormalities, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).

Feeling tired easily when exercising is a warning sign that your heart is unstable.

The following signs may be warning signs of heart disease developing silently.

Easily tired when exercising

One of the warning signs of heart trouble is feeling tired easily when doing physical activities. The patient will notice that their ability to move is much worse and they get tired very quickly. This is because the heart's ability to pump blood has decreased, especially when the cause of fatigue is not due to lack of sleep, diet or any other obvious cause.

Sudden persistent cough

Coughing is a very common health problem. It is often caused by a cold, flu, asthma or other respiratory problems. However, a persistent cough is a common sign of heart failure. A cough caused by heart failure is not only persistent but also often worse when lying down, accompanied by white or pink mucus, shortness of breath and swelling in some areas of the body. The cause of the cough is a heart problem, such as heart failure, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, which reduces the ability to pump blood, causing fluid to accumulate in the lungs.

Hair loss on legs

Heart failure reduces the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a decrease in blood supply to organs. As a result, tissues and hair follicles in the legs do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients to maintain growth, eventually leading to hair loss.

Not only that, heart failure reduces blood circulation, increasing the risk of peripheral artery disease. This is a condition that causes narrowing of the arteries in the legs. Symptoms include leg pain when walking, cold skin on the legs, and hair loss on the legs.

Swollen gums

A little-known warning sign of heart failure is swollen gums. Heart failure does not directly cause swollen gums, but it can indirectly lead to gum problems. This is because heart failure reduces blood flow to the gums, sometimes causing fluid to accumulate in the facial area. This results in larger swollen gums.

In addition, heart failure is a decrease in the body's immune system. Poor immunity makes it difficult for the body to fight bacteria, leading to gingivitis, according to Medical News Today .
