When should I go to a cardiologist?

Chevron Icon

There are many non-life-threatening reasons for you to visit a cardiologist, including heart health education, lifestyle recommendations, and stress relief. Though not every symptom of the heart ends up being serious, it’s important to watch out for the following three:

  • Shortness of breath — trouble breathing can be an early warning sign for heart problems.
  • Dizziness — feeling light-headed with a spinning sensation can be the result of heart disease or low blood pressure.
  • Chest pain — pain in the chest is often a sign of too little oxygen returning to the heart and might be a sign of a heart attack.

Call 911 if you have any of the following symptoms in addition to your chest pain:

  • A sudden tightness or pressure in your chest
  • Pain that spreads to your jaw, left arm, or back
  • Sharp chest pain followed by shortness of breath
  • Nausea, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Confusion, excessive sweating, or a pale appearance

What can I expect during my cardiology appointment?

You can expect your cardiologist to talk about your symptoms and lifestyle habits during your visit. Your cardiologist will also offer guidance about lifestyle changes and perform tests used to identify any cardiovascular conditions you may have.

  • EKG — detects heart rhythm irregularities
  • Ultrasound — used for imaging of the heart
