11. Loss of Consciousness or Fainting
Feeling lightheaded (and, in more extreme cases, fainting) can be a tell-tale sign that you could have heart problems. Chances are this is caused by a narrowed or clogged artery which makes it harder for your heart to pump blood sufficiently, especially to your brain. If you’re someone who already has a weak heart and you experience dizzy spells or fainting, please see your doctor immediately. Those are 11 signs that your heart is not working properly. Some of them actually surprised us because they’re not the most obvious sign that comes to mind when you think of heart problems. (Like number six!) So, if you notice even one or more of them, you might want to book a doctor’s appointment just to be safe. It’s better to safe than sorry!
