Express notes that experts warn that this progressive condition is characterized by the inability of the heart muscle to pump the necessary amount of blood to the body, which may cause 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 of the legs, persistent cough, which may increase at night, and clumsiness, confusion, and an irregular heartbeat. These symptoms also include loss of appetite or unexplained loss and weight gain, dizziness, fainting, depression and anxiety.

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

One of the main causes of flatulence is eating too much and swallowing air. As well as the presence of inflammations and diseases of the intestine such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, indigestion or temporary constipation.
