Heart failure is a dangerous disease. If measures are not taken in time, a fatal outcome is possible.

Experts from the Eat This, Not That portal told us what signs you should pay attention to in order to prevent negative consequences.

The first thing that appears is shortness of breath.

However, it does not always appear after physical activity. The symptom can appear if a person is calm, lying down or even sleeping.

Swelling of the legs and feet also indicates heart failure. This is due to fluid accumulating in the extremities.

In addition, as experts note, the problem is indicated by a rapid pulse or chest pain. There may also be weakness and fatigue.

In this case, it is difficult for a person to concentrate on anything.

But these are not all the signs.

There is another one, which is associated with loss of appetite or nausea. The fact is that with this disease, some patients may feel sick or full, even if they have eaten very little.
