Hello, I'm a healthcare professional with a background in cardiology. When it comes to identifying the signs of an unhealthy heart, it's important to be aware of the following symptoms:


1. Chest pain or discomfort: This can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest. It can last for a few minutes or come and go.


2. Shortness of breath: This may occur with physical activity or at rest and can be a sign that the heart is not getting enough oxygen.


3. Fatigue: Feeling tired or fatigued even with light activity can be a sign of a heart problem.


4. Irregular heartbeats: These can feel like your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too fast or too slow.


5. Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet: This can be a sign of fluid retention due to heart failure.


6. Nausea or vomiting: These symptoms can sometimes accompany heart-related chest discomfort.

7.
Lightheadedness or fainting: Feeling dizzy or lightheaded can be a sign that the heart isn't pumping enough blood to the brain.

8.
Pain or discomfort in other areas: Sometimes, heart problems can cause pain in the arms, neck, jaw, shoulder, or back.

9. **Rapid or difficulty breathing at unexpected times**: This can be a sign of heart failure.

10.
Pale or blue-tinged skin, lips, or nails: This could be due to low oxygen levels in the blood.

It's crucial to seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms, as they could indicate a serious heart condition.
