Holiday Heart Health: Cardiologists Warn Against Ignoring Symptoms

Cardiologists are urging people not to ignore symptoms of heart trouble during the holiday season, as stress and disruptions to regular routines can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and artery damage. People often hesitate to seek help during this time, but symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and swelling of the legs should not be ignored. Additionally, a new study suggests that couples are more likely to have high blood pressure if their partner does, highlighting the importance of monitoring blood pressure levels.
