Bloating appeared to be a possible sign of heart problems

0

Every person at least once in his life I felt bloating. Most often, this unpleasant condition is the result of improper nutrition. However, in some cases it can be a sign of a dangerous disease.

Abdominal bloating can indicate congestive heart failure, when the heart muscle ulcers are unable to efficiently pump blood around the body. In addition to bloating, a person often loses appetite or, on the contrary, gains weight. Heart failure can be fatal, so its early diagnosis is extremely important.

Its main symptoms include:

• shortness of breath after activity or at rest;
• constant feeling of fatigue;
• quick fatigue;
• swollen ankles and feet.

Heart failure can also be indicated by a cough that worsens at night, wheezing, irregular heartbeat, fainting and dizziness.

If a person often experiences bloating or other listed symptoms, you should consult a doctor. At the same time, doctors remind that heart failure cannot be cured, but its progression can be slowed down.

Most often, patients are recommended to change their lifestyle: eat right, give up bad habits and do sports. Special medicines are also prescribed.
