10 Symptoms of Heart Disease You Need to Know

According to a WHO report, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be over 23 million annual deaths from cardiovascular diseases.

The most dangerous thing about heart disease is that people blame it on pollution, a bad diet, or an unhealthy lifestyle, while in fact, the reason is that many people don’t act fast enough as soon as symptoms show up.

Moreover, most symptoms aren’t always obvious or severe, as well as they vary from one individual to another.

Since it’s difficult to determine the symptoms of a heart issue, you need to pay attention to these warning signs and call your doctor if they reoccur or last for many hours or a few days.
