Absolutely: Yes, you should have an evaluation by your physician. In addition to asking about any symptoms you might experience, your physician will evaluate for risk factors you may have for heart disease. Identifying and controlling risk factors is the best way to protect your cardiac health. Ask your family physician for a thorough cardiac risk assessment.
