10 Symptoms of Cardiomyopathy
Symptom #5: Breathing Difficulties
As the heart pumps blood around our bodies, it sends with it the oxygen that is essential for our survival. We usually don’t even notice this is happening at all except when there is a problem with the heart. If insufficient blood is circulating, then insufficient oxygen is also circulating.
With insufficient oxygen in your body, the result is a sensation of being out of breath. This is more noticeable after exertion but can also occur when at rest. Among other things, sudden breathing difficulties are also a symptom of a heart attack, so you should seek immediate medical attention should such difficulties occur.
