Q:
If a person has cardiomyopathy, what symptoms will he have?
A:
In early stage cardiomyopathy, it is hard even for doctors to notice any symptoms of the disease. As it develops, signs gradually become noticeable. Symptoms of cardiomyopathy include:
Rapid, fluttering or pounding heartbeats/irregular or abnormal heartbeats
Shortness of breath on exertion
Fatigue
Dizziness and fainting
Chest pain
Cough while lying down
Swollen feet, ankles and legs
Bloating of the abdomen due to fluid buildup
If left untreated, the symptoms will get worse. How fast the signs can worsen relates to the patient’s specific physical condition. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are helpful to relieve these symptoms.
