I am sure you or someone you know has had or had heart disease; it is a topic discussed; you may want to start by saying My Heart Doctor is comprehensive and efficient, then you may want to tell them about your story.

I will use a story of someone close to me, on the way from work driving,” Marcia,” was having severe chests pains, she did not call anybody but knew something was wrong, so she drove herself, straight away to the nearest hospital that she knew about, which happened to be over ten miles away, when she got there she found out that the pain she had been feeling, was a heart attack she had, had. The ER doctors suggested she see a cardiologist, she did. She needed a pacemaker, a change in diet, and less stress in her life(at the time, she was working alone 11 pm -7 am and then driving 60 miles a day to see her husband in a nursing home that had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s), she is very grateful, now she often says I am thankful for My Heart Doctor for without him, I may not have been alive today.

I have many more stories I could share with you like this, but if it wasn’t for them seeing a cardiologist, they might not be with us today.
