Question

I'm curious about something. Can heart attacks cause just pain in the left arm with no chest pain at all? I've been feeling a bit of pain in my left arm, like above the elbow and sometimes near the shoulder. Should I be worried? Can heart issues manifest as only arm pain and not have any chest pain involved?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about a medication change I went through. So, originally, I was prescribed Telma 40 AMH at Pace Hospital in Hyderabad, but I started experiencing some leg swelling. Then, at Manipal Hospital in Vijayawada, they switched me over to Cinod T, and I've been on it for about two months now. Should I keep taking the Cinod T, or do you think the original Telma 40 AMH was adequate? Could the leg swelling have been something I should worry about related to the Telma 40 AMH, or is it safe to switch back?

Question

I'm struggling with high cholesterol levels and I'm trying to figure out what to do. My total cholesterol is sitting at 221, with an LDL of 146, HDL is 36, and VLDL is 39. Plus, my triglycerides are at 280. I also smoke, but I've been cutting back bit by bit. Do I need to start taking statins because of this? And if I do start them, is it possible to stop once my cholesterol levels go down?

Question

Hey, I'm really concerned about my mother-in-law. She had a heart attack yesterday and she's in the hospital being watched by the doctors. They've done an ECG but haven't done angiography or an Echo yet. Is angiography absolutely necessary after a heart attack? If it is, why might the doctors be taking so long to do it? I'm not sure how urgent this procedure isshouldn't it be done quickly after the heart attack? She's stable for now, she can talk, but she's experiencing some pain in her back. I tried asking one of the doctors about the angiography and ended up getting yelled at, which has left me feeling frustrated and worried about what's happening. Is delaying angiography risky? Should we consider moving her to a different hospital?
