When should I see a cardiologist?
It is worth booking a visit if you notice any of the following:
- raised blood pressure
- palpitations or an irregular pulse
- shortness of breath with less effort than usual
- chest discomfort or pain on exertion
- swollen ankles, fainting spells or dizziness
- high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease
- a preventive check-up or an assessment before sport
Emergency – call 112. Sudden severe chest pain, shortness of breath at rest, loss of consciousness, speech difficulty or sudden one-sided weakness need an immediate call to 112, not a booking.
