Don’t Ignore Symptoms, Even in a Pandemic

An important message from one of my patients —if you’re having heart symptoms, seek medical attention right away! It can say save your life!
 
Researchers say that people are more than twice as likely to die from a heart attack during the Covid-19 pandemic because many aren’t going to the hospital after experiencing symptoms of heart trouble.
 
Worse yet, current lifestyle changes and increased stress during Covid-19 may be increasing certain people’s risk of having a heart attack.
 
Please take care of yourselves and if you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of a heart attack or stroke, don’t hesitate —get the care you need now! It’s safe and it will provide you your best chance for recovery, and your best hope for better and healthier tomorrows!
