Go Red for Heart Awareness Month!

Go Red! February is Heart Awareness Month

If you had heart disease, would you recognize the symptoms? You might be thinking, "Of course!" But there's plenty more you need to know besides pain in your chest.  While pain in the chest is one symptom,  there are more - symptoms that if recognized could save your life. So before you pass that jaw pain off as the result of sleeping funny or lightheadedness as something a snack or rest can fix, learn the symptoms. And don't ignore them!
