In any disease management or treatment, half of the success lies in identifying the symptoms correctly at the initial stage itself. Many diseases will throw certain conspicuous symptoms which when read or identified then effective treatment can be administered at right time.
There are certain diseases that never exhibit symptoms at all and diseases such as cancer, blood pressure, heart disease, etc., fall under this silent killer category.
How to Identify Heart Disease Symptoms without any Pronounced Signs?
During the early stages of heart disease, there will be very few external or visible heart disease symptoms that make identifying the disease difficult.
The complicated nature of the disease makes diagnosis further complicated and many a times the disease will be known only in a more severe stage or advanced stage. So what could be the best method to know the presence of heart disease in the absence of any visible symptoms?
First you must get to know whether there were any heart disease case in the family history. An affirmative answer is a sure sign that you are also prone to the disease and you will fall under the high-risk group. Added to this, if you are a habitual smoker, or have a habit of consuming alcohol, or both, then the chances of your getting heart disease will be double.
Under the above circumstances, you should resort to periodical screening, preferably once in two years so as to know the onslaught of the disease in its initial stage itself. So, even in the absence of any visible heart disease symptoms you can get to know your position and be able to identify the disease in you well before the disease could inflict any damage to your heart and take remedial steps to counter the effects of disease.
In the event of your ignoring the early signs or your failure to get the prescribed test done on you, the heart disease symptoms at a later stage will start manifesting in the form of nausea, chest pain, pain in the left hand, headaches for no valid reasons, excessive sweating and so on. You will also experience shortness of breath, continuous dry cough and swelling in lower limbs.
On consulting a doctor and explaining the symptoms, your doctor can immediately relate your symptoms to a heart disease and he/she will suggest you to undergo medical attention immediately. In case of severity of the disease, you will get heart palpitations, severe chest pains, cyanosis and extreme sweating as heart disease symptoms.
The moment you know that you are a victim of heart disease, then it is better you carry your doctor s phone number always with you for use in case of an emergency. Further, you should also get your family members and friends educated as how to administer first aid in case of heart attack or stroke because each and every minute is valuable under emergency situation.
