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.

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 with a 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 in hides this little indicator red flag situation.

You go about your way thinking, well, okay, good. Now I no longer have high blood pressure. So I'm good. But that didn't do anything for the heart itself. In fact, it just camouflaged the real problem. And then you may start experiencing symptoms of this medication, which really is experiencing symptoms of the heart problem now because now we don't have the output of blood flow.

So some people that start medication that reduce the blood pressure from this compensation situation, start having a demon in the legs, it might feel a lightheaded, fatigued difficulty breathing.

Okay, those are the known symptoms when you have decompensated heart failure, but typically what happens, you have this compensation going on for many years, until the heart gets a week that can no longer compensate.

And so that's when you start having the obvious symptoms of a heart problem and their symptoms that people know about and their symptoms that people don't know about.

Pitting a demon in your lower ankles, if you press into your lower leg, close to your ankle, and it leaves a dent, that's pitting a demon. Okay, that what's happening is you're getting a backup of blood in the body because the heart cannot push it out.

It could also be other things like liver disease or even adrenal problems, but definitely a heart problem can create that as well.

Another common symptom of decomposition would be you get out of breath very easily, especially when you exercise or go up a hill.

Another symptom would be pain on the left arm or chest pain or actually back up through here, but again, those are known symptoms, but the ones that people are not used to hearing about are the following.

Coffee, that could be a version of congestive heart failure where the blood flow is backing up into not just your ankles, but into organs and your lungs and creating this irritation or a cough.

Number three, signs of dementia, you're starting to forget things. Why? Because you don't have the blood flow to your brain as well as you used to.

There's a problem with not getting enough oxygen and blood flow to the brain that can affect your memory over time if it becomes chronic.

Number four, low urine output. Okay, the amount of urine that you're putting out is definitely not what it should be.

And that is because your body is retaining sodium because your body is trying to compensate for this lack of blood flow and oxygen, so it's just holding on the fluid.

Right. Number five, difficulty breathing when you're laying flat on the ground. Okay.

So you get relief when you sit up or stand up.

A lot of people don't associate that. They think it's always like if I exercise and I get winded. No, actually when you lay in your back.
