Symptoms of heart failure in young people

Patient's question:

My younger brother is only 24 years old, married, and recently he has been complaining that he's always tired while working. Even walking down stairs leaves him feeling completely exhausted. He often suffers from neurasthenia and has poor appetite. In the past, he was generally healthy, but others say this is a sign of heart failure. I want to know what symptoms young people with heart failure typically exhibit?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of heart failure are typically: Many patients experience repeated episodes of general fatigue, reluctance to speak, and difficulty breathing during daytime naps. They may also cough, experience chest pain, digestive problems leading to indigestion, loss of appetite, and reduced urine output, among other symptoms. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for thorough examination to avoid missing the optimal treatment window. Rest more during the day and avoid overexertion.
