Symptom 6: Nausea or Lack of Appetite: A Surprising Signal
Ever found yourself pushing your plate away because you just can’t stomach the thought of food? Or perhaps you’ve had moments of queasiness that just won’t let up? These signs could be more than just a passing stomach bug; they could be signaling angina.
When the heart muscle struggles to get enough blood, the body might react in unexpected ways. Nausea or a sudden loss of appetite can be one such surprising response. The connection may not be immediately apparent, but it’s part of the body’s complex response to an impaired heart function.
Food, the thought of it, or even its smell might suddenly seem unappealing. You might feel full even without eating much. Or you might feel a persistent nausea, a roiling unease in the stomach that doesn’t seem tied to any food or drink you’ve consumed.
These digestive symptoms might not scream “heart problems!” to most people, and that’s where the problem lies. They’re easily dismissed as something you ate or just a stomach bug. But when these symptoms persist, with no discernible cause, it’s time to consider that they might be a symptom of something more serious. (6)
