When should you see a cardiologist?

A consultation with a cardiologist may be appropriate if you experience, for example:

• chest pain at rest or during physical exertion
• shortness of breath or unusual fatigue
• a clear decline in physical performance
• a sensation of pressure or tightness in the chest
• symptoms suggestive of heart rhythm disturbances
• dizziness, fainting, or other changes in level of consciousness
• high blood pressure
• concern about your heart health or the need for a specialist’s opinion

You may also book an appointment even without clear symptoms if you wish to ensure your heart’s well-being or assess risk factors for heart disease.
