What Is Heart Disease?
Heart (or cardiovascular) disease is the broad term for a group of conditions that affect the health of the heart and blood vessels. The heart plays a significant role in your overall wellness by pumping oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to your organs and tissues. Heart disease can damage the blood vessels or create blockages that weaken your body's ability to function. In the worst cases, the heart may fail to receive the blood and oxygen it needs to work properly, leading to a heart attack. If you have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease or believe you may be at risk of this condition, we urge you to contact WellHealth Medical Associates in Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI to schedule a health screening. Our staff will work with you to develop a personalized plan to maintain your heart health.
How Do You Treat Heart Disease?
First, we'll perform a thorough screening to get a comprehensive view of your cardiovascular health. This may include blood tests, electrocardiogram (EKG), and chest x-rays to examine the arteries. If we find causes for concern, we'll review those with you and discuss what you can do to limit your risk of complications. This may include lifestyle modifications (like diet and exercise) and prescription medicines to help manage your vitals. We'll also discuss treatment options for conditions that are often linked to heart disease, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Cardiovascular disease is an illness that often requires a commitment to long-term monitoring and behavioral changes so the staff at WellHealth Medical Associates will work with you throughout your treatment to assess your condition and ensure you're on track for improved heart health.
What Are the Symptoms of Heart Disease?
Different types of heart disease can present with different symptoms. In some cases, individuals with heart disease may experience no symptoms at all. That being said, there are a few well-known signs of heart disease that you should watch for, including:
- Pain or tightness in the chest
- Feelings of fatigue
- Numbness or coldness in the hands and feet
- Unexplained pain in the back, jaw, neck, throat, or upper abdomen
- Irregular or unusually fast heartbeat
If your symptoms persist for more than a few minutes or are especially severe, you should call 911.
WellHealth Medical Associates Reviews
Highly recommend this facility. Entire staff was efficient and knowledgeable. The doctor was the best I've been to in years he was patient and kind explaining and answering all my concerns. Making this my primary care for sure.
I’ve been going here for years now. Dr. Murthy is a great doctor. Always looks out for my best interest. Only thing I’ve ever had a problem with is getting called on Friday night for video when my appt was on a Wednesday. But I understand there’s only 2 providers and a lot of patients. Other than that they helped me with a lot. Thank you guys
He's an extremely smart doctor very well educated I'd recommend him to anyone
I have been a patient at Wellhealth for years now…I am always well taken care of, no matter what the reason of my visit. Staff has always been beyond great, even new faces…but Sarah is the secret sauce to this office. I appreciate everyone here and strongly recommend this office.
Dr. Murthy is incredibly knowledgeable in treating even the most complicated health issues. I have multiple autoimmune problems and since I’ve started seeing him, he has given me my life back! He is very understanding and compassionate and his superior knowledge in rare diseases make it so easy to talk to him and get the best treatments. I never believed it was possible for me to have a life without pain and I am forever grateful to him for giving me that! His PA Dr. Olivia is the best, she is very easy to talk to and very compassionate and knowledgeable as well. The entire staff at this office are amazing 😊 My 3 year old daughter and I are always happy to go in and see everyone! They make you feel very comfortable, like you’re family 😁 This is by far the best Primary Care office I have been to in over 10 years and I’m so blessed to have found them Thank you 🙏
