Fatigue
Feeling excessively tired or worn out, even with rest, can be a symptom of heart disease.
Irregular heartbeat
An irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or in an irregular pattern.
Cold sweats
Cold sweats or clammy skin can be a sign of a heart attack, especially in men.
Nausea or vomiting
Feeling nauseous or vomiting can be a sign of a heart attack, especially in women.
