Symptoms of heart disease
Do you have any of these symptoms?
Cardiovascular diseases are very common and can sometimes go unnoticed. We advise you to make an appointment with one of our nurses immediately if you experience any of the symptoms listed below.
If symptoms occur suddenly and severely, call an ambulance and go to the hospital immediately. Most of the time, symptoms start out mild and then get worse. They can also be very subtle. That's why it's a good idea to make an appointment with one of our nurses, who will assess your risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chest pain
Heart palpitations
Difficulty breathing
Abnormal shortness of breath
Chest discomfort radiating to the left side of the body
Sometimes the discomfort moves to the right side and reaches the shoulder blade, arm, neck, throat, or jaw, with or without cold sweats, but without clammy skin.
