Symptoms of heart ( cardiovascular ) disease - Chest pain stress ,edema


SYMPTOMS OF HEART ( CARDIOVASCULAR )  DISEASE .
 
 
 None of the symptoms of a heart defect is conclusive proof, but certain symptoms suggest the possibility, and several symptoms together may make the diagnosis almost certain. Doctors identify symptoms of interviewing for medical history and physical examination. Diagnostic procedures are often performed to confirm the diagnosis. However, sometimes a heart defect, although serious, does not produce symptoms until late. routine health inspections or visit a doctor for some other reason can not reveal a heart defect, which did not cause any symptoms. Sometimes doctors perform procedures screen heart defect, although there is no evidence.
 
The symptoms of heart problems, including some types of pain, dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations (slow, fast or irregular heartbeat), dizziness, fainting and swelling of the legs, ankles and feet. However, these symptoms does not necessarily mean a heart problem. For example, pain may be due to respiratory or digestive system instead of a heart condition. Symptoms of disorders of the peripheral blood vessels vary depending on where blood vessels are involved. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty breathing, muscle cramps, muscle fatigue, dizziness, swelling, numbness and discoloration of the skin of the affected body part.
 
 
CHEST PAIN OR DISCOMFORT  

 Some more alarming symptoms of chest pain. In the minds of many people, the chest pain is equal to the pain of heart. And whilethere are many other conditions can cause chest pain, heart failure is very common - and dangerous - the symptom of chest pain should not be ignored out of hand as being insignificant.Chest pain is a vague term. It is often used to describe any pain, pressure, squeezing, choking, numbness or other discomfort in the chest, neck or upper abdomen, and often associated with jaw pain , head or arms. It may last less than a second to several days or weeks, can occur frequently or rarely and can occur sporadically or predictably. This description of chest pain is obviously very vague, and as was expect, many medical conditions, apart from these diseases can produce similar symptoms.

EDEMA

The swelling due to fluid accumulation (edema) in tissues. Occurs when blood pools in the leg veins, increasing pressure on leg veins and forcing the fluid from the veins into tissues. Blood may accumulate because the heart can not pump all the blood it receives from the body (heart failure) or due to a deep vein in the leg is blocked (deep vein thrombosis). swelling of the legs, ankles and feet, or abdomen may indicate a heart failure or a venous disorder, such as deep vein thrombosis. However, this inflammation is usually caused by standing or sitting in one position too long or age-related changes in the veins of the leg. Leg swelling is common during pregnancy. Inflammation may also be due to liver or kidney problems.
