Symptoms of heart weakness
When our heart means heart starts working less than its normal functioning – especially below 50%, this condition is called heart failure or low ejection Fraction. In this state, the heart is unable to reach the body in the required amount of blood and oxygen, due to which many physical symptoms start appearing. Often people ignore these symptoms as modest, but these signs can be a sign of severe heart disease.
If the heart is working at less than 50% capacity, then these symptoms start appearing in the body slowly. Do not take these signs lightly. If you are constantly feeling these symptoms, then immediately contact a cardiologist and get the necessary checks like ECG, Echo, Ejection Fraction Test. Timely treatment can improve heart functionality and improve the quality of life.
