The heart is the engine of our body, which gives us life by continuously pumping blood. But when there is a blockage in the paths leading to this engine, it can become a danger signal.

Chest pain and heaviness: Feeling of pressure, burning, or heaviness in the chest intermittently is the most common symptom of heart blockage. It is often called "angina". This pain can sometimes spread to the shoulder, arm or back. If this is happening repeatedly, then it is important to get it checked by a doctor immediately.

Difficulty in breathing: If you start feeling breathless even after walking a little or climbing stairs, then this can be a sign of heart blockage. Blockage causes difficulty in supplying oxygen to the heart, which causes difficulty in breathing.

Fatigue and weakness: Feeling tired throughout the day without doing any heavy work, weakness even after getting enough sleep can be a symptom of heart blockage. Due to blockage in the arteries, the body does not get enough blood and oxygen, which leads to constant fatigue.

Dizziness and fainting: When blood flow is disrupted due to heart blockage, not enough blood reaches the brain. This can result in dizziness, lightheadedness or sometimes fainting. Do not mistake this for general weakness.

Swelling in feet and toes: Improper functioning of the heart increases fluid retention in the body. This can cause swelling in the feet, ankles and toes. Apart from heart blockage, this can also be an early sign of heart failure.
