HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR HEART?
When you feel fine, it’s easy to assume your heart is fine. But common precursors to heart disease such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure often occur without any symptoms. A great way to be sure about your heart health is to schedule a checkup with a cardiologist.
If you're experiencing chest pain and/or shortness of breath, call 9‑1‑1 immediately.
