Which symptom is typical of kapha-type hrday roga lakshana?

• A. Heaviness in the body
• B. Excess salivation
• C. Diabetic condition
• D. 80-90% blockage

Answer: (A)

In Ayurveda, a kapha-dominant heart disease shows up with heaviness as the defining sign. Kapha is the dosha of heaviness, congestion, and slow, unctuous movement; when it accumulates in the chest and heart, it produces a dull, oppressive sense of weight and a sluggish feeling throughout the body. That makes heaviness in the body the most typical and distinguishing lakshana of kapha-type hrday rog.

Excess salivation isn’t a hallmark of kapha dominance in heart disease; it points more toward other imbalances or digestive factors. A diabetic condition is a metabolic issue that can accompany various prakriti imbalances but isn’t a defining sign of kapha-type heart disease. Very high arterial blockage (80–90%) is a concrete, modern finding rather than a characteristic Ayurvedic sign signaling kapha involvement. The classic, recognizable feature for kapha-type hrday rog is the persistent heaviness and fullness.
