Take your waist measurement
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, measuring waist size is better than BMI to know the risk of heart attack. According to an estimate, if a man's waist size is more than 37 inches, then his heart may be weak. Whereas in women this limit is 31.5 inches. A waist of 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women can be a sign of serious danger to the heart. Because obesity puts excessive pressure on the heart. Increase in bad cholesterol is common with obesity and this fat can also cause blockage inside the veins.

Count the pulse to detect heart blockage
Pulse rate is also called pulse rate and heart rate. By counting it, we can find out if there is any blockage in the heart veins or not. According to the British Heart Foundation, the pulse of a normal aged and active person should be between 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest. However, sometimes the pulse of athletes is also between 40-50. If symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness as well as low heart rate are seen, then a doctor should be consulted.
Climb 40 stairs
According to Dr. Chandril Chugh, this test measures exercise tolerance. If you can climb 40 stairs in 1.5 minutes without getting breathless or tired, your heart health is very good. In case of weakness or blockage, the heart is put under pressure during mild physical activity and it shows signs like rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath.
