When it comes to our heart health, we can never be too careful. That's why cardiologist Dr. Shannon Vinakure discovered a symptom that many people ignore, which could indicate heart problems or diseases.
He claims that one symptom that many people don't take seriously enough is chest discomfort. He notes that this symptom may seem harmless, but it is a sign that we should visit a cardiologist, he writes B92.
Dr. Vinakur points out that chest discomfort can often be mistaken for indigestion, but it can actually be a symptom of heart disease.
"I've had patients and family members who believed they had indigestion, but were diagnosed with a heart attack after seeking medical attention for their symptoms," the doctor said.
He explains that chest discomfort is a classic symptom of heart disease, and that it is a consequence of the blockage of the heart's arteries.
He also adds that, unfortunately, patients don't always survive these "hidden heart attacks," so it's best to be safe and see your doctor if you feel something is wrong.
