Express notes that experts warn that this progressive disease is characterized by the inability of the heart muscle to pump the necessary amount of blood to the body, which can lead to death in the end.

And she adds, and other life-threatening symptoms, which indicate heart failure, are shortness of breath in a state of calm and rest, fatigue and swelling in the legs, a persistent cough, which may increase at night, and clumsiness, confusion and an irregular heartbeat. These symptoms also include loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss and gain, dizziness, fainting, depression, and anxiety.

Flatulence appears, usually when gas or fluids build up in the abdominal cavity, causing it to expand. This condition is an indication of a disease or dysfunction of the body and not a disease of heart failure.

One of the main causes of gas is overeating and swallowing air. As well as the presence of inflammation and bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, indigestion or temporary constipation.
