Heart disease refers to medical conditions related to the heart. The most well-known type of heart disease is coronary artery disease. It affects the flow of the blood to the heart leading to heart damages.

Sometimes heart disease may be “silent”. It may not be diagnosed at times until a person experiences symptoms of a heart attack. When these events happen, symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort, upper back or neck pain, indigestion and heartburn may be noticed. Also, nausea or vomiting, extreme fatigue, upper body discomfort, dizziness, and shortness of breath may be observed.
