Heart care

Cardiologist in Palos Hills

A cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in the heart and blood vessels. You might see one for a symptom, for a risk such as high blood pressure, or because your regular doctor asked for a heart opinion.

Reasons to see a cardiologist

  • Chest discomfort that comes and goes
  • Shortness of breath with activity
  • A racing, skipping or irregular heartbeat
  • High blood pressure or high cholesterol
  • A family history of heart disease
  • Swelling in the legs or ankles

New or severe chest pain, trouble breathing or fainting? Call 911. Do not drive yourself.
