Signs of an Unhealthy Heart:

An unhealthy heart has many ways of making itself known. Because the heart pumps blood to the rest of your body, you may see symptoms of an unhealthy heart in your arms, legs, or abdomen. Heart disease can even make itself known in your sleep. Some of the most common symptoms include:

  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Aches or constriction in the chest, shoulder or arm 
  • Dizziness, loss of breath, and fainting
  • Sexual issues, like erectile dysfunction
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Swelling of legs or feet
  • Sore or swollen gums, jaw, or throat
