Sneaky Heart Disease Symptoms: Franciscan Health Podcast
Channel: Franciscan Health
Date: 2024-02-15

Signs of heart disease or sneaky/silent symptoms of heart disease. The goal of this segment to remind the audiences of signs and symptoms of heart disease, both the ones they know and the ones they may not thinking about – the silent or sneaky ones, such as extreme tiredness or nausea, pain/swelling, stress and anxiety, etc.

Dr. Abigail Qin-Nelson, an interventional cardiologist at Franciscan Health, discusses silent symptoms of heart disease in the Franciscan Health podcast.

Dr. Qin-Nelson covers such questions as:
✔️ We know that smoking, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure can increase the risk of heart disease. What other medical issues can mask or amplify heart disease symptoms?
✔️ How can having exhaustion and fatigue be the result of blockages or restricted blood flow to the heart?
✔️ Men and women can have different symptoms of heart disease. How can the genders differ in how they perceive their symptoms?
✔️ One of the best preventative measures is knowing your numbers. What numbers should our community members know and how do they get checked?
