Is this because of the cost of living crisis?
In part yes. With less money in their pockets, people will be less able to afford high quality food and, as a result, will be more able to stock up on foods with less nutritional value. Higher in preservatives and other nefarious dietary negatives, these foods will be less healthy, increasing the risk of a range of conditions.
What is the most common form of heart disease?
While heart disease affects the public in a variety of ways, some forms of the condition are more common than others. The most prevalent is coronary heart disease (CHD); this occurs when fatty deposits build up in the coronary arteries of the heart.
Symptoms of the condition include:
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Pain throughout the body
• Feeling faint
• Nausea.
The NHS notes however that “not everyone has the same symptoms and some people may not have any before hearing coronary heart disease is diagnosed”.
