Shortness of Breath
Breathlessness Without Exertion
Experiencing shortness of breath during regular activities or even while at rest can be a significant sign of heart trouble. This occurs because your heart isn’t pumping blood efficiently, causing fluid to back up in your lungs, which can make breathing difficult and is a direct indicator of potential heart failure.
Difficulty Breathing
If you notice you can’t catch your breath or feel winded without any obvious cause, it might be your heart struggling to supply oxygen-rich blood to your body. This symptom, especially in the context of post-COVID-19 recovery, requires prompt medical attention to rule out cardiac issues and ensure timely treatment to prevent further complications.
