Chest Discomfort
Chest discomfort (or pain) is one of the most common symptoms that provokes concern and medical examination. There are many causes, some of which are due to heart disease. A prompt and detailed evaluation and management by a cardiologist may be necessary. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Shortness of Breath
Shortness of breath (or dyspnea) is a frequently experienced symptom that can be due to many medical conditions. There are multiple cardiac causes, one of which is heart failure. If you experience shortness at breath at rest or with activity, an evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Palpitations
Palpitations is a term which describes various symptoms, including a racing, fluttering or heavy heart beating sensation in the chest. It is one of the most common reasons for a cardiology evaluation. Causes vary widely and an abnormal heart electrical rhythm (arrhythmia) may be the source. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Dizziness/Lightheadedness
Dizziness (sensation of personal or environment spinning) or lightheadedness (sensation of almost losing consciousness) is one of the most common symptoms experienced. Some causes are due to the heart and may be potentially dangerous. Evaluation by a cardiologist may be needed. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Loss of Consciousness
Suddenly losing consciousness can be terrifying for anyone to experience or even witness in another person. Temporarily blacking out (called syncope) is one very common type and it may be due to heart disease. Evaluation by a cardiologist is frequently necessary. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Murmur
A murmur is one of the most frequent abnormalities discovered during an examination of the heart with a stethoscope. It is due to turbulent blood flow in the heart and it can be due to many cardiac conditions. Some of these causes include aortic stenosis and mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation. Evaluation by a cardiologist is nearly always recommended. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
