Chest Pain & Discomfort

Chest pain is often associated with heart diseases, causing pain and discomfort, are common symptoms that can arise from a variety of causes, ranging from minor issues to life-threatening conditions. The pain can range from a dull ache to a sharp pain.

Palpitations

Palpitations refer to sensations of rapid, fluttering, or pounding heartbeats that may be felt in the chest, throat, or neck. While palpitations can be alarming, they are often harmless.

Shortness of Breath

Shortness of breath, medically termed dyspnea, is a common symptom that can cause a distressing sensation where one feels unable to breathe deeply enough. It is often described as difficulty breathing, breathlessness, tightness in chest or suffocating.

Giddiness or Fainting Spell

Giddiness and fainting, medically known as syncope, can be alarming experiences, often leaving individuals feeling weak, dizzy, or lightheaded.

Hypertension

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high.

Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol)

Hyperlipidemia, commonly known as high cholesterol, is a condition where there is an excess of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream.

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a condition characterised by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the major blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood. This is primarily due to a buildup of cholesterol and other materials, known as plaque, on the artery walls.

Heart Failure

Heart failure is a disease of the heart muscle that affects its size, shape, and structure, often leading to weakened heart function. This condition can result in the heart’s inability to pump blood efficiently, potentially leading to heart failure or irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

Valvular Heart Disease

Valvular heart disease occurs when one or more of the heart’s valves don’t function properly, disrupting blood flow through the heart.

Heart Attack (Cardiac Myoinfarction)

A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked for a long enough time that part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies.

Heart Arrhythmia (Irregular Heartbeat)

Heart arrhythmia, also known as an irregular heartbeat, occurs when the electrical impulses that coordinate your heartbeats don’t function properly, causing your heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly.
