When should you visit a cardiologist?

When we ourselves notice that something is wrong, we definitely go to the doctor. Non-stop, strong chest and back pain with sweating, severe shortness of breath, loss of consciousness require urgent care.

​

In any case, it is necessary to clarify what is the problem behind the recurring chest pain that occurs on exertion, the irregular heartbeat, rapid pulse, irregular rhythm, shortness of breath, and leg swelling. Worse workloads, sweating, and fatigue can also be the first signs of heart disease. It happens that heart trouble is also the cause of coughing, stomach pain or back and shoulder pain. Bluish lips and fingers may indicate a circulatory disorder, so further investigation is warranted in this case as well. Erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction) can be the first symptom of a cardiovascular disease even without other signs of heart disease, so in this case you should visit a cardiologist as well as a urologist.

​

In order to form a correct opinion, the cardiologist needs adequate information, therefore knowledge of previous diseases and findings is necessary in addition to the current test results. In order to determine what to do next, you must also be aware of the medications you are taking, and you must also take into account the effects of not only prescription drugs, but also over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements during planned examinations and therapy modifications. During the comprehensive examination, an EKG, blood pressure, and heart ultrasound are also prepared, and if necessary, we can also schedule an MRI examination at our partner.

​

We consider it important to note that with the correct treatment of heart disease detected in time and with the help of modern therapeutic procedures, in most cases patients can live a long and active life.
