Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Let's talk about six unexpected signs of heart disease.

Now, since heart disease pretty much is the number one cause of death worldwide, compared to any other death, I think it's appropriate to understand this problem a little bit more,

especially the

unexpected or surprising signs or symptoms that can tell you you have a heart problem without

even knowing about it. Now, regarding heart failure, there's two different situations. You have

compensated heart failure and you have decompensated heart failure. Now,

what's the difference? What does that mean compensated? It means that when you have a weak heart

initially, you're not going to have the same output of blood flow or oxygen. So the body compensates

to help you out to increase the amount of blood flow by increasing

the pressure and the retention of sodium. So you can also increase the same amount of fluid

through the body. The body is trying to hold on to the fluid and increase the pressure and the

pulse rate. And so compensated heart failure has as its symptom,

no symptoms, except high blood pressure. Now, why would you have no symptoms? Well, because you're

getting the same output as a normal heart, but your numbers are just higher. So for a lot of people

that have high blood pressure,

there really is no symptoms, at least at first. And what's really interesting is that

people then just take a medication, which kind of camouflages and hides this little

indicator red flag situation.

And you go about your way and think, well, okay, good.

Now I no longer have high blood pressure.

So I'm good.
