People who get Rheumatic Heart Disease sometimes end up very sick but it does not always cause symptoms.
This depends on the severity of the heart disease and also whether the patient is taking their medication regularly and when they're supposed to. This is particularly important as the medication prevents the rheumatic heart disease from getting worse and prevents the following symptoms:
- Chest pain
- Heart palpitations
- Breathlessness on exertion
- Breathing problems when lying down
- Waking from sleep with the need to sit or stand up
- Swelling
- Fainting
You should see your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Thank you for posting this article. I have been trying to learn more about this disease and its symptoms, but everywhere I search I feel like everything is just a jumble of information. I am glad that you posted this very helpful and straightforward information. I have cardiovascular disease in Humble TX, and was just curious learning about other diseases of the heart. Thank you.
