A common symptom of heart disease is shortness of breath, which is caused by the blood being deprived of the proper amount of oxygen. Another common symptom is chest pain or pain down either arm. Other symptoms are palpitations, fainting, emotional instability, cold hands and feet, frequent perspiration, and fatigue.
The pain and burning sensation in the knees is often caused due to the damage to the structures in and around the knee joint. Wear and tear of knee joint cartilage is the most common reason. The other cause can be ligament tear, bursitis. Often, the characteristic burning sensation in the knee joint is due to Iliotibial band friction. It is a common cause for knee pain in athletes. Iliotibial band originates from the hip joint and runs all the way to the knee joint.
Caused by: As we get older we tend to sit more and move less which causes a build up of synovial fluid that normally lubricates the knee, keeping it flexible. That means stiffness, pain and sometimes swelling. S igns: You wake with sore knees or feel stiff after sitting for long periods, especially in tight seats such as at theatres or on planes. You may have pain at the front of your knee that gets worse when it bends. Prevent it: Building up leg strength is essential to preventing knee pain as stronger muscles take the pressure off the knees, preventing pain. Build leg strength as you brush your teeth by stand on your left leg for one minute and then your right for the second minute (balancing on a wall if you need).
