7-Shortness Of Breath And Fatigue
The American Heart Association said shortness of breath is an indicator of heart failure. The AHA described situations that indicate shortness of breath and they include:
- You have “breathlessness during activity (most commonly), at rest, or while sleeping, which may come on suddenly and wake you up.”
- You need to be propped up after having difficulty breathing while lying flat.
- You wake up feeling tired or restless after sleeping through the night.

Blood vessels can get backed up due to an unhealthy heart, and it starts spreading to places it shouldn’t be, like the lungs. This causes shortness of breath.
8-Dizzy/Lightheadedness
Feeling dizzy or lightheaded—or even fainting—can be a sign that blood flow to the brain is restricted, which is a leading cause for strokes and heart attacks. The dizziness and fainting can also be caused by a drop in blood pressure. “Dizziness, especially when standing up too quickly, is an extremely common symptom for people with heart failure,” one site noted.
