What is cardiac distress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WhenHeartBadlyReacts: Cardiac distress is when the heart doesn't react well to the conditions on it. For instance, during exercise, activity, running, etc., the heart should be pumping more blood to the body; in distress, the heart shuts down, or pumps less. There are many reasons for cardiac distress, but use HealthTap Prime or TTYD if you think this is what you have. ESTABLISH a DIAGNOSIS before treating or worrying.
