Many people are unaware of the symptoms of coronary heart disease. Michael Miller, professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, in the United States, highlighted a sign that appears when someone is lying down and that not everyone is aware of.
According to the expert, in some cases, hearing your heartbeat at night could be a sign that something is very wrong. “Some patients with a noisy faulty valve can hear the sound of their valve at night when they are trying to sleep.”clarifies.
Furthermore, he explains that a fast heartbeat when a person is not exerting physical effort can be a sign of low blood pressure, low blood sugar levels, anemia, dehydration or a side effect of medication. Taking this into consideration, the specialist advises you to see a doctor if you notice this symptom.
For those who don’t know, coronary heart disease is caused by the buildup of a fatty material called atheroma, which can eventually narrow the blood vessels so much that they don’t allow the blood to receive enough oxygen.
