Cause #6: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition where a part of the heart has thickened without an apparent cause. This causes the heart to be less efficient and less able to pump out blood resulting in leg swelling, tiredness, fatigue, breathlessness, chest pain, and fainting.
It can cause complications such as sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and an irregular heartbeat.
