5. Swelling in legs, ankles or feet
Have you noticed your shoes feeling tighter at the end of the day? Fluid retention can be a sign that your heart isn’t working properly. This cardiac swelling has specific characteristics:
It gets worse towards the end of the day
It leaves a mark when pressed with a finger.
It can extend down to the calves
At our medical center in Getafe, we perform comprehensive evaluations to determine if this swelling has a cardiac origin or is due to other causes.
6. Palpitations or Irregular Heartbeat
Do you feel like your heart is skipping beats or beating too fast? Occasional palpitations are normal, especially after exercise or coffee. However, when they become frequent, they deserve attention. Worrying palpitations include:
Very rapid heartbeat at rest
Sensation that the heart “stops”
Accompanied by chest pain
Our team of cardiologists uses advanced technology to evaluate heart rhythm and determine if there are any irregularities that require treatment.
