When should I visit a cardiologist? In general, people who are not sufficiently informed about (cardiologic) diseases, are registered with a doctor only at serious ailments, and even neglect their health, referring to the will of the case. But we must remember one fact - in the field of cardiology, the time of the onset of the first problems is very important for timely treatment and elimination of the problem. So you should contact the cardiologist at the first malaise in the area of the heart muscle.
In practice, we have seen cases where a patient who has contacted us due to heart pain experienced by him for a certain period of time has eradicated the problem as a result of mere clinical observation. However, there have also been cases when a patient who has contacted us in connection with recently developed ischemic pains revealed a serious problem. For this reason, any malaise in the heart should serve as a signal for a visit to the cardiologist.
What should people that do not have significant knowledge in the field of medicine pay attention to? We give you examples based on real cases of our center:
- For 3 months already, I suffer from shortness of breath;
- For 3 weeks already, I feel a squeezing pain in the chest and pain in my left hand;
- Every time I walk in the park, I feel pressure in my chest, spreading to my throat and left shoulder. This feeling has been observed for over a month, and the heaviness and pressure are increasing in comparison with the previous times;
- Over the past two weeks, my heartbeat pace has increased significantly. This feeling is accompanied by dizziness and light tiredness;
- I cannot breathe as easily as before. In recent weeks, I got fatigued by 20 kg, and my leg has increased by 2 sizes;
- Over the past year, I have observed daily shortness of breath, as well as a decrease in overall physical activity during the day;
- It seems to me that the rhythm of my heartbeat has changed, and has become strange.
In order not avoid issue escalation, and setting eyes on reducing the time of recovery, we strictly recommend you to contact the cardiologist for such and other symptoms.
