How You Know If You Are Brokenhearted

1. Right Sided Sleeping- You only feel truly comfortable sleeping on your right side. You may try to sleep on your left but something doesn’t feel good about it.

2. Needing to sleep on two or more pillows- You may think you have sinus drainage and need to be propped up but in actuality the slight cough you have may be heart related congestion.

3. Coughing mainly or only at night- You may think this is mainly a sinus related cough, but it is actually a heart related congestion.

4. Exercise/Activity Tolerance Low- You may be able to do many high impact activities well but you take more time than others to recover.

5. Pulse Rate High at Rest- Your pulse rate might range between 95-110 when you are at rest. You would need to buy an at home blood pressure cuff to determine this.

6. Extreme Weight Fluctuation- You may weigh 130 one morning and weigh between 135 and 140 the next. Weigh yourself every morning to see if your weight fluctuates to an extreme.

7. Sensitivity to Salt- You may feel bloated by eating only a little salty food.

8. Sensitivity to Fluids- You may feel bloated or gain weight just by drinking water or other fluids.

9. Lung Pinch- You may feel a slightly uncomfortable pinch under your left pectoral muscle.

10. Lung Gurgling- You may feel or hear a gurgling in the bottom of your chest cavity. It feels and sounds like a growling stomach.
