You can check for heart disease at home by measuring your pulse rate and your blood pressure if you have a blood pressure monitor. You can also monitor yourself for symptoms of heart disease, such as:

Chest pain, pressure, discomfort, or tightness

Being short of breath

Experiencing numbness, coldness, weakness, or pain in your toes, feet, or fingers

Feeling dizzy or lightheaded, especially when you stand up or fainting for no apparent reason

Headaches

A fluttering, racing, irregular, or slow heartbeat

Pain that radiates up your neck, throat, jaw, or across your upper abdomen or back

Pale gray or blue skin color

Swelling in the lower legs, ankles, feet, or hands

Easily becoming short of breath or tired with light amounts of physical activity

Feeling tired or fatigued all the time.

These are some of the symptoms that may indicate you have heart disease, but for many people, heart disease has no symptoms, that is why it is often referred to as the “silent killer”. It is not until a person experiences a significant event (such as a heart attack or stroke) or their doctor runs some tests as part of a routine checkup, that they discover damage or changes to their heart and/or blood vessels. If you have any risk factors for heart disease listed below, see your doctor at least every year for a checkup.

How do you measure your pulse at home?

You will need an analog watch (one with a clock face rather than digital numbers) with a second hand. Place your index and middle finger of your hand on the hollow part of your inner wrist of the other arm, just below the base of the thumb. You should feel a tapping or pulse against your fingers, that is your heartbeat. Look at your watch and count the number of taps you feel in 10 seconds. Multiply that number by 6 to find out your heart rate for 1 minute.

A normal pulse is 60 to 100 beats per minute.

How do you measure your blood pressure at home?
