Diastolic Heart Failure – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis & Treatments

Shortness of Breath

Shortness of breath is probably one of the most common signs of heart failure. It would occur at any time of the day, especially during physical activities. Even when you are resting or sleeping, this symptom would also happen. It indicates that your lungs are severely affected by damages in your heart, which cannot pump sufficient blood around the body. Make sure to visit the nearest hospital as soon as you notice these changes. Otherwise, it would lead to further complications. [2]
