What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Heart
Block?
Signs and symptoms depend on the type of heart block
you have. First-degree heart block rarely causes symptoms.
Symptoms of second- and third-degree heart block
include:
- Fainting
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
- Fatigue (tiredness)
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
These symptoms may point to other health problems as
well. If these symptoms are new or severe, call 9–1–1 or go to the
hospital emergency room. If you have milder symptoms, talk to your doctor right
away to find out whether you need prompt treatment. |
