Heart Surgeon Reveals 3 Critical Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore

Heart Health Warning: Three Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore Millions suffer from heart disease, and early detection is key. Dr. Jeremy London, MD, a heart surgeon, recently shared a short video highlighting three critical symptoms often overlooked. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing these warning signs and seeking immediate medical help. "The first and biggest red flag is chest pain or pressure, particularly when brought on by activity and relieved with rest," explains Dr. London. This is a sign of stable angina, indicating the heart muscle may be blood-starved. Another subtle symptom is progressive shortness of breath. Dr. London notes, "It's getting worse over time." This gradual worsening requires attention. The third, often missed, symptom is easy fatigability. "Fatigue out of proportion to the activity," says Dr. London, is a significant warning. Simple tasks like taking out the trash or crossing a parking lot might trigger extreme tiredness. Dr. London's message is clear: Pay attention to your body. These symptoms are red flags, and prompt medical attention can save lives.
