When to check Cardiology?
If you're experiencing any of the following conditions, consider consulting one of our cardiologists:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath:
Difficulty breathing, especially if it occurs suddenly or during physical activity, may indicate underlying heart issues that require cardiological attention.
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeats:
Palpitations, irregular heartbeats, or changes in heart rhythm can be signs of heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation. A cardiologist can evaluate and diagnose such conditions.
- High blood pressure:
If you have persistent high blood pressure, a cardiologist can help manage and control hypertension to prevent cardiovascular complications.
- Family history of heart diseases:
Regular check-ups with a cardiologist are advisable if you have a family history of heart diseases. This helps assess the risk and take preventive measures.
- High cholesterol:
Elevated cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart diseases. A cardiologist can evaluate cholesterol levels and provide guidance on lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medical treatment.
- Obesity or overweight:
Excess weight can contribute to heart problems. A cardiologist can work with you to develop weight loss strategies and improve cardiovascular health.
