Shortness of breath
Despite your generally good physical condition, do you find it difficult to breathe after simple activities such as going up the stairs? How come?
Shortness of breath occurs when blood escapes into the lungs and this is a sign that you’re suffering from heart failure.
Even though shortness of breath can be caused by many diseases, such as asthma and pneumonia, a proper diagnosis is necessary in order to find treatment. Luckily enough, there are some natural remedies that can help you ease the discomfort until you seek help, such as: Niacin or vitamin B3. It is proven to increase heart health by lowering both blood pressure and cholesterol and therefore protects the blood vessels from additional stress.
This can happen both while engaging in physical activities, as well as resting, which makes this symptom easy to identify.

How does one tell the difference between chest pain associated with indigestion/heartburn and an issue with the heart?
I so wish that articles like these would add “throat clearing” to “coughing” as a symptom of heart disease! Had I googled “coughing” instead of “constant throat clearing,” my husband might still be alive today. However, what my husband was doing in the months leading up to his “widow maker” heart attack did NOT sound like “coughing.” It was the “ahem ahem ahem” of throat clearing. Even the doctor dismissed it as kind of a tic or habit, since my husband was healthy and athletic . . . and I, reassured that my husband’s doctor did not seemed concerned, actually became annoyed at the sound. Googling “throat clearing” only brings up things like post nasal drip — and, sadly, not the serious situation of blood leaking back into the lungs, which is what was happening to my husband. He suffered a fatal heart attack while on a charity bike ride. Please — articles on “throat clearing” need to add “heart disease” as a possible cause and articles on heart disease need to list the symptom of concern as “coughing/throat clearing,” rather than just “coughing” so people can become aware.
I am 76 and have had sinus problems for years, i clear my throat and cough all the time, so idk if one can say that indicates heart problems. thank you
This article is very helpful. I’m constantly clearing my throat. My doctors associates the throat clearing to post nasal drip. The lymph nodes in my throat are always enlarged. I had a my enlarged tonsils removed hoping it would stop the throat clearing but it didn’t. Nothing seems to help with the constant clearing of my throat. I’m extremely concerned about it because I have a mild heart condition and a family history of heart attack and throat cancer. my doctors can’t explain why I have excess fluid around my heart.
