Seek emergency medical care if you have these heart disease symptoms:

* Chest pain
* Shortness of breath
* Fainting

Heart disease is easier to treat when it's detected early, so talk to your doctor about any concerns you have about your heart health. If you don't have heart disease, but are concerned about developing heart disease, talk to your doctor about steps you can take to reduce your heart disease risk. This is especially true if you have a family history of heart disease.

If you think you may have heart disease based on new signs or symptoms you've been having, make an appointment to see your doctor.
