Feeling very tired, sleepy, or lacking energy to do even small things can be a sign of fatigue. One reason it can affect a person is because the heart receives less blood. This happens when blood vessels become smaller. Feeling tired can occur when someone has heart problems.

Difficulty breathing
Breathing difficulties occur when the lungs do not receive enough oxygen for the body to work properly. If you or someone you know has trouble breathing, it's important to see a doctor as it could be a sign of a possible heart attack.
3. Lack of strength
If you suddenly feel weak for no apparent reason, your body might be telling you to slow down and think about your lifestyle.
Feeling lightheaded and sweating profusely.
Feeling dizzy and sweating when cold can happen due to bad blood flow, which should not be overlooked.
Symptoms similar to the flu or a cold.
Many people who have had a heart attack report having symptoms similar to the flu just a few days before the heart attack occurred.
6. Feeling of heaviness in the chest.
One common sign of a heart attack is feeling pressure in the chest. This pressure will keep rising until the attack occurs.

7. Feet that are larger than usual.
If you have congestive heart failure, it means that one or both of the lower chambers of your heart are not pumping blood effectively. As a result, blood can accumulate in your legs, ankles, and feet, leading to swelling.
