    Here are some of the most commonly ignored signs:

    1. Chest Discomfort

    Pressure, tightness, or pain in the chest (even if it comes and goes)

    2. Shortness of Breath

    Feeling winded with minimal exertion or even at rest.
    Waking up gasping for air during sleep.

    3. Fatigue

    Unusual exhaustion, especially after activities that didn t tire you before. Feeling drained even after a full night s sleep.

    4. Irregular Heartbeat (Palpitations)

    A racing, fluttering, or pounding heart without exertion.
    Feeling like your heart "skips a beat" frequently.

    5. Swelling in Legs, Ankles, or Feet

    Fluid retention due to poor heart function.
    Can also indicate high blood pressure or heart failure.

    6. Persistent Cough

    A chronic cough that produces white or pink mucus (a sign of fluid buildup in the lungs).

    7. Jaw, Neck, or Back Pain

    Often mistaken for muscle pain but can indicate heart issues, especially in women.

    8. Excessive Sweating

    Sudden cold sweats, even when not exerting yourself.

    Can feel like anxiety or flu symptoms but may indicate heart problems

    Early detection and lifestyle changes can help prevent more serious heart conditions.
