When Should You See a Cardiologist?
You should see a cardiologist if you experience prolonged symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or heart palpitations, as these could be signs of underlying heart issues that need immediate attention. Additionally, if you have a family history of heart disease, or if you’ve been diagnosed with conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, it’s important to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and management plan. Regular visits are also recommended if you’re at higher risk for heart disease due to factors like smoking, obesity or a sedentary lifestyle.
Even if you’re symptom-free, your primary care doctor might refer you to a cardiologist for preventive care or if they detect any abnormalities during routine checkups. Early consultation can lead to better management and prevention of potential heart problems.
