Could you have high blood pressure? You may be able to get this checked for free at a pharmacy.

High blood pressure can cause serious conditions such as stroke and heart disease.

Heart disease includes many diseases that affect your heart, but coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common and familiar one. Heart disease can lead to a heart attack, heart failure, cardiac arrest, stroke and organ damage. Healthy habits, medicines and procedures can prevent or treat CAD and other heart diseases.

🫀Coronary artery disease: Fatty deposits make your heart’s blood vessels narrow.

🫀Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms keep your heart from beating in a coordinated way.

🫀Heart valve diseases: Valves that are too narrow or don’t close right reduce blood flow.

🫀Cardiomyopathy: Stiff or thickened heart muscle can’t pump blood well.
Heart failure: Your heart can’t pump blood well enough to keep up with your body’s needs.

🫀Congenital heart disease: Problems with how your heart formed before birth prevent normal blood flow.

🫀Pericardial issues: A stiff or inflamed sac (pericardium) around your heart presses on your heart.

The first symptoms of heart disease include chest pain, shortness of breath, swelling in your legs, fatigue and dizziness/fainting. But you can have different signs of heart disease depending on what’s wrong. Heart disease symptoms may include:

Pounding or racing heart (palpitations)
Sweating
Neck pain
Heartburn or indigestion
Nausea or vomiting
Trouble sleeping
Exercise intolerance
Fever

Triglycerides are fatty types of lipids found in your blood that can be dangerous for your health. Similar to LDL (the “bad” form of cholesterol), high levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, even when LDL levels are healthy. That means you want to try and keep your triglyceride levels as low as possible to avoid potential health issues.
