Don’t Ignore These 3 Heart Disease Symptoms — Especially After 60

2. Shortness of Breath

Feeling breathless during simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs, may indicate that the heart is not pumping efficiently.

This symptom can appear:

• During physical activity

• While resting

• At night when lying down

3. Unusual Fatigue or Weakness

Persistent or unexplained fatigue may be an early warning sign, especially if it interferes with daily activities.

Many people mistake this for “normal aging,” but sudden or extreme tiredness should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
