You realise this is not ordinary fatigue, but you cannot find its source. A research paper published in the 'National Institute of Health' in 2021 stated that this type of fatigue is linked to heart disease. If such extreme fatigue occurs while doing daily routine tasks, there is definitely a need to be cautious.
Shortness of breath, chest pressure
Chest pressure occurs while walking, climbing stairs up and down, and even when lying straight on the bed. Information provided by England's 'National Health Service' indicates that symptoms like sudden shortness of breath or chest pressure can indeed cause heart attacks. Therefore, it is essential to be alert when such problems are observed.

Pain in various parts of the body
When heart-related problems occur, pain does not only happen in the chest area. Various parts of the body, such as the jaw, left arm, shoulder, throat, and upper back, may suddenly experience tingling pain. You may also feel excessive pressure. Doctors say that when there is any heart problem, the pain spreads to different parts of the body through the nerves. Many people mistake it for gas pain. Therefore, one must be cautious beforehand.
Digestive problems
Even after eating regular home food, if there is bloating, gas, or digestive problems, one must remain alert. Especially women mistake such problems for acidity. Information provided by the 'American Heart Association' suggests it is better not to try suppressing the problem by taking digestive medicines. Excessive sweating, fatigue, and gas-acidity problems can indeed be major causes of heart problems.
