Sore gums (dental problems)
This is probably the most surprising symptom of heart disease – and one you should definitely mention to your doctor.
Dr. Thomas Boyden explains that ‘your gums are very vascular, meaning they’re full of blood vessels and your mouth if full of bacteria. If you disrupt the gum layer even a little bit, you’re going to get bacteria in your bloodstream.’
Depending on which type of bacteria penetrate the bloodstream, you may start developing conditions that affect your heart health.
ATTENTION! If you start experiencing pain that starts from the heart muscle and goes up towards the jaw, seek medical assistance immediately. This may be a sign of heart attack and you might require emergency help.
