Test Yourself

There are many test that a Doctor can give to a person to detect heart disease or any of the complications of cardiovascular disease. The choice of which and how many tests to perform depend on a person's symptoms and history of heart problems. There are several tests that one can take, one being invasive (involve the insertion of needles, instruments, or fluid into the body), or non-invasive (just the opposite). Some test may give different results than others, that is why it is recommended to take several. Even though it is difficult to detect the diseases or even feel the symptoms, if a person feels chest and arm discomfort, especially while under stress of during activity, is a classic symptom of heart disease with no reason why, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or abnormal beats, are also reasons to get a check up.
