The short answer
Mezo Health lets you see a registered cardiologist by private video call from anywhere in Nigeria, with their own fee shown before you pay. Video suits blood pressure that will not come down, palpitations that have settled, going through an ECG or echo report, and heart medicines. Chest pain, severe breathlessness, or fainting with a racing heart needs a hospital now.
Go to a hospital now if you have
Call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department now. Do not wait for a video call.
- Chest pain that feels tight, heavy or like squeezing, or spreads to the arms, neck, jaw, stomach or back
- Chest pain with sweating, feeling sick, light-headedness or breathlessness
- Severe difficulty breathing: gasping, choking or not able to get words out
- Lips or skin turning pale, blue or grey (on dark skin, check the palms, soles and gums)
- Palpitations that will not go away, or come with chest pain, breathlessness or fainting
- Fainted while exercising or while lying down

Be seen in person today if you
These are not emergencies, but the NHS advises urgent help. A cardiologist on video can tell you where to go.
- Are suddenly more short of breath than usual
- Feel breathless when lying down, or are coughing up frothy pink phlegm
- Have suddenly gained weight or swelling
- Had palpitations with chest pain or faintness that have now stopped
- Often have headaches or blurred vision with high blood pressure
What video handles well
- High blood pressure that stays high on treatment, using your home readings
- Palpitations that have come and gone, to decide which heart test you need
- Going through an ECG, echocardiogram (echo) or other heart test report
- Heart failure reviews: breathlessness, swelling and your medicines between clinic visits
- High cholesterol and what it means for your heart
- A second opinion before a heart procedure
What video cannot do
- An ECG, echo, stress test or heart monitor, which are done at a diagnostic centre or hospital: the report comes back to the call
- Listening to the heart and chest
- Procedures such as an angiogram or a pacemaker
- Chest pain happening now, or any emergency: see the warning signs below

Questions people ask
How much is a cardiologist consultation in Nigeria?
Each cardiologist sets their own video fee, and it is shown before you pay. Medicines and tests are separate, and each is priced before you pay for it.
Can I book a cardiologist appointment online?
Yes. Choose a cardiologist on this page, pick a free time and pay their fee online. The video room opens in your browser once payment is confirmed.
Can a cardiologist assess my heart without seeing me?
For much of heart care, yes: the story of your symptoms, your readings and your test reports carry most of the answer. Where an examination or a new test is needed, the cardiologist says which one and where.
Do I need a referral to see a cardiologist on Mezo?
No. You can book a cardiologist directly. If another doctor has written to you or done tests, bring the letter and results as photos.
Can the cardiologist prescribe and order tests?
Yes, when it is right for you. A prescription is written on Mezo and can go to a partner pharmacy, where you pay on Mezo and collect it with a pickup code or have it delivered where the pharmacy delivers. Tests are ordered at a partner laboratory and priced from its own list before you pay.
What if the cardiologist says I need to be seen in person?
They tell you what examination, scan or procedure you need, how soon, and where. You can book it through Mezo, or ask for a call back and a care coordinator arranges it.
Something feels seriously wrong right now. What do I do?
