Heart Symptoms
What are the signs of heart problems?
Heart symptoms are most commonly associated with cardiovascular disorders. Pain is one type of heart symptom. The medical term for heart or chest pain is angina. Other heart symptoms result from heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), which include rapid, slow, or irregular heart rate. They can occur as an isolated problem or in combination with other heart conditions.

Diagnosing the cause of heart symptoms
To diagnose your condition, your doctor will ask you several questions related to your heart symptoms including:
- When did you first notice your heart symptoms?
- When do you feel your heart symptoms?
- Do you have a family history of heart problems?
- Do you have any other symptoms?
- Does anything relieve or worsen your heart symptoms?
- What medications are you taking?
Heart symptoms can be a sign of a serious condition. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you experience heart symptoms along with shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, loss of consciousness, or severe trauma to the chest. Seek prompt medical care if your heart symptoms are persistent or cause you concern.
