Cardiology
Symptoms of heart disease are often dismissed as other less-threatening conditions, such as indigestion, sore muscles or poor circulation. In reality, these symptoms could be alerting you to a more serious condition. That is why it is best to consult your physician — especially if you have a family history of heart disease.
