JAKARTA - Heart disease and stroke are diseases that can cause death in a person. These two diseases generally have widely known symptoms.

Like heart disease, the symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, cold sweat, and nausea. While the stroke of symptoms is that the face is loaded, the arms cannot be lifted, to the point of difficulty speaking.

However, apart from these symptoms, there are still other symptoms of heart disease and stroke that are unusual so they are often neglected and not realized. Here are some of these symptoms to be known.

1. Bloody Gusi

Quoted from the Daily Mail, on Saturday, October 4, 2025, bloody gums can actually be related to heart disease and stroke. A study at the British Heart Foundation found that 69 percent of gum disease was more likely to catch type 2 diabetes, which ultimately increased the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

"We believe some of the links between gum disease and cardiovascular disease can be explained by inflammation due to bacteria in the mouth," said Imperial College London cardiologist Professor Rasha Al-Lamee.

2. Slicing sleep

Sleeping while snoring is often associated with an obstruction sleep apnoea (OSA) condition, a common annoyance when freezing the throat loosens and closes for some time while sleeping.

This condition can actually be related to heart disease so that if you experience it often, you should see a doctor.

"Although snoring itself is not directly related to heart disease, sleep apnoea, yes. This is because it has a relationship with obesity and other metabolic conditions so it must be considered a warning sign if you have not managed these risk factors," said Rasha.

3. Fingers of Dead Fingers to Soreness

Fingers that are numb to tingling are often considered trivial by many people. In fact, these conditions can be a sign that a person has a risk of heart disease.

When the temperature drops, the blood vessels will naturally narrow. This will increase blood pressure and force the heart to work harder to pump blood throughout the body.

To protect vital organs such as the brain, lungs, and kidneys, blood circulation to the edge will decrease. This ultimately makes the hands and feet look pale, bluish, numb, and tingling.

If the heart is having problems or blood circulation is not good, then this effect can be more severe.
