Hi HeartHealth123, some of the most common symptoms of cardiovascular disease include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs. It's important to note that some people may not experience any symptoms until the disease has progressed, which is why regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are crucial.
That's a great question! Other symptoms to be aware of include irregular heartbeat, dizziness, and pain or numbness in the arms or legs. Additionally, if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease, it's important to be especially vigilant in monitoring your symptoms and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
It's also worth noting that some people may experience what's known as a 'silent' heart attack, which can occur without any symptoms at all. This is why it's so important to maintain regular check-ups with your healthcare provider and to be aware of any risk factors you may have, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes.
