If you experience chest pain, pressure, tightness, or discomfort, especially if it’s accompanied by other symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, or pain radiating to the arms, neck, jaw, or back, it could be a sign of a heart problem.
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, especially during physical activity or when lying down, could indicate heart failure, coronary artery disease, or other cardiac issues.
Sensations of rapid, fluttering, or irregular heartbeats may signal arrhythmias or other heart rhythm disorders.
Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or fainting without apparent cause could be related to heart rhythm disturbances, heart valve problems, or inadequate blood flow to the brain.
Unexplained swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, or abdomen may be a sign of heart failure or other cardiovascular conditions.
Persistent fatigue or weakness, especially if it’s severe or interferes with daily activities, could indicate underlying heart problems.
If you have consistently high blood pressure (hypertension), it’s essential to monitor it regularly and consult a cardiovascular specialist for management and treatment.
A family history of heart disease, stroke, or other cardiovascular conditions increases your risk. Regular check-ups and screenings are recommended, especially if you have close relatives with these conditions.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a heart condition or have undergone heart surgery or procedures in the past, regular follow-ups with a cardiovascular doctor are essential to monitor your heart health and adjust treatment as needed.

Did you know?
Fitness trackers can detect irregular heartbeats, heart failure, and even predict heart attacks. This technology is putting advanced cardiac screening on everyone's wrist at an affordable price point.
The facts:
-Wearables can detect atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) with over 90% accuracy
-Apple Watch has already alerted thousands of users to previously unknown heart conditions
-New algorithms can spot early signs of heart failure from subtle changes in activity patterns
-Integration with AI is making these devices even smarter at predicting cardiac events
Good news:
Early detection means early treatment - and that can be the difference between a minor medication adjustment and a major cardiac event.
The questions that still remain:
Can we trust consumer devices with our health? Will this create unnecessary anxiety about normal heart rhythm variations?
