Heart Disease Alert: 10 Common Symptoms in Seniors and How to Address Them

1. Shortness of Breath After Physical Activity

If you find yourself getting winded easily after simple activities like walking or climbing stairs, it could be a sign that your heart isn’t pumping blood effectively, leading to reduced oxygen supply.

Consult a doctor for a thorough check-up. Your doctor may recommend an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a stress test to assess your heart function. In the meantime, engage in light exercise as advised by your healthcare provider.
