Heart Specialist & Cardiologist in Jalandhar
Chest pain on walking, breathlessness, palpitations, high blood pressure that won't come down, or an angiography report that says you need a stent — these are reasons to see a cardiologist. At Oxford Hospital, Jalandhar, cardiology consultations are with interventional cardiologist and diabetologist Dr. Gurbir Singh Gill, and tests such as ECG, echocardiography and TMT are done in the same building.
When to see a cardiologist
- Chest pain, tightness or heaviness on exertion that settles with rest
- Breathlessness out of proportion to activity, or when lying flat
- Palpitations, a racing or irregular pulse, or fainting
- Blood pressure above 140/90 despite treatment
- Diabetes, high cholesterol or smoking, with heart disease in a parent or sibling before 60
- A stent or bypass has been recommended and you want a second opinion
What happens at your first visit
The cardiologist takes your history, examines you and reviews previous reports, angiography CDs and prescriptions. Depending on your symptoms, an ECG, 2D echocardiogram, TMT (treadmill stress test), 24-hour Holter monitor and blood tests are arranged — usually the same day. You leave knowing what is wrong, what is advised and why.
A second opinion before a stent
In stable heart disease, the question is not only how narrow an artery looks, but whether it actually starves the heart of blood. Oxford's No-Stent Protocol answers that with stress testing and, during angiography, FFR — and treats with medicines, ECP and risk-factor control when the evidence favours it. Heart attacks are treated with emergency angioplasty without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the cardiologist's OPD timings at Oxford Hospital?
Dr. Gurbir Singh Gill consults Monday to Thursday, 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Book on +91 98550 00028 by call or WhatsApp. Cardiac emergencies are seen 24x7 in the emergency department.
Do I need a referral to see the cardiologist?
No. You can book directly. CGHS and ECHS patients who want cashless planned treatment should bring their referral as the scheme requires; emergencies need no referral.
Can I get a second opinion on my angiography report?
Yes. Bring the angiography CD and report, previous ECGs and echo reports and your current prescriptions. The cardiologist reviews them and explains whether a stent is likely to help you or whether medical therapy is the better-evidenced option.
Is chest pain always a heart problem?
No — acidity, muscle strain and anxiety cause chest pain too. But chest pain lasting more than a few minutes, spreading to the arm, jaw or back, or coming with sweating, breathlessness or fainting must be treated as a possible heart attack. Call +91 98550 00028 or come straight to emergency.
Is cardiac treatment cashless?
Cashless under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY), CGHS, ECHS, ESI and 20+ insurers and TPAs, subject to scheme rules and pre-authorisation.
