Some patients come to us complaining of a burning sensation, pain, or tightness in the chest, and palpitations when climbing stairs.
You should know that these symptoms appearing while climbing stairs may be a warning sign of serious heart disease.
This is because the heart's workload rises as physical activity increases. If there is any narrowing in the coronary arteries that supply the heart, it will show itself through the symptoms described above.
If these chest symptoms appear when climbing stairs or after physical activity, we recommend that you have a cardiac examination.
