cardiologist means - #28515

Aadhya

I am really curious about what a cardiologist means, like, I thought I knew but now I’m not sure. A few months ago, I started feeling this weird tightness in my chest after I’d walk up stairs or even just get up from sitting for a while. At first, I brushed it off thinking it was just my anxiety or maybe just being outta shape. But then my mom said I should see a doc and mentioned maybe a cardiologist means someone who specializes in heart stuff, right? So, I went to my regular doc and he kinda freaked me out. He said my symptoms could be serious and he referred me to a cardiologist. I was super confused and a bit scared, like what does seeing a cardiologist means for me? Does that mean I have heart issues? They did some tests and told me that it might be just a panic attack but they want to keep an eye on my heart health. I can’t stop wondering, does it mean I need to change my lifestyle? Or am I overreacting? What does a cardiologist means when they tell you these things? It’s hard to think straight with all this swirling in my head. If anyone has experience with this or knows what a cardiologist means in terms of what's next for me, I would really appreciate it!
