2. Difficulty breathing for no apparent reason
Have you found yourself breathless after climbing stairs you used to climb without a problem? Shortness of breath can be an early sign of heart problems. This difficulty breathing can occur:
- During everyday activities
- While lying down
- During the night, interrupting sleep
Many of our patients tell us, “I thought I was just out of shape.” However, when the heart doesn’t pump efficiently, the lungs can be affected.
