Causes of fatigue in rheumatic heart disease
If the patient is diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease, and exhibits symptoms such as fatigue, numbness, or weak limbs, it could indicate a decline in heart function. It is recommended that the patient visit a hospital for a cardiac ultrasound to rule out these issues, as this condition is treatable.
Currently, the treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief and improving heart function using cardiotonic diuretics, which can alleviate the patient’s current condition. If the patient experiences palpitations, difficulty breathing, or other similar symptoms, immediate attention is necessary. Ongoing monitoring of the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse changes is essential. If there is a high heart rate, or symptoms like swelling in the lower limbs, diuretics may be used to relieve these symptoms.
