5 Signs You Should Talk to Your Doctor About Heart Screening. ❤
Heart disease doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes the warning signs are subtle — and early detection can make all the difference.
Have you experienced any of these 5 important signs:
1️⃣ Chest discomfort or pressure – even mild tightness or burning during activity.
2️⃣ Shortness of breath – especially if it’s new or worsening.
3️⃣ A strong family history of early heart disease.
4️⃣ High blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol – even if you feel perfectly fine.
5️⃣ Unexplained fatigue, dizziness, or palpitations.
Modern cardiac imaging, including calcium scoring, CT coronary angiography, echocardiography, and cardiac MRI, helps detect heart disease early — often before a major event occurs.
Women, in particular, may experience less “classic” symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, jaw, or back pain. Don’t ignore what your body is telling you.
If you’re experiencing any of these signs, speak to your doctor about whether heart screening is right for you.
At Maine Radiology, we’re committed to accurate diagnosis, advanced imaging, and compassionate care — because your heart deserves nothing less.
