Named the only signal from the body about an imminent cardiac catastrophe

Cardiologists have identified a symptom that may indicate that a person's heart has very little time left to function.

As reported by BAKU.WS, it's about sudden and severe shortness of breath even at rest. If a person experiences air shortage without physical exertion, this indicates critical weakening of the heart muscle and approaching heart failure.

Doctors note that this sign is often accompanied by swelling of the extremities, severe fatigue and dizziness, but sudden shortness of breath is considered the main signal of imminent cardiac collapse.

Specialists emphasize that if such symptoms appear, it is necessary to seek medical help immediately. Otherwise, the risk of death increases significantly.

Cardiologists remind: regular examinations, blood pressure control, cholesterol and blood sugar monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of severe complications.
