I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of a bigger issue, and what might help ease the pain?

I've been experiencing this weird sensation where I can feel my heartbeat or pulse when I'm lying down on my pillow. It usually happens in the side of my neck or at the back of my head. This has been going on for about three months now. I've had an ECG and an echo, and they were normal, except the ECG showed sinus tachycardia. I also got a thyroid test, which came back normal. My blood pressure is fine too, and I dont have any other symptoms. Its just strange that it only happens when Im lying down. I did have COVID nine months ago, but that feels like ages ago now. What should I do next?

I'm trying to make sense of an angiography report, and it's got me a bit worried. It mentions a "LAD type 3 vessel proximal LAD 90 and mid LAD 90 stenosis" and "distal LAD minor plaques." Theres also talk of an "Intermediate 70 stenosis" and "LCX codominant system ostial 80 stenosis." Apparently, the LMCA is normal except for minor plaque and diagonals have non-obstructive plaque, while the marginals and PDAPLV are normal. The report concludes with "Final Diagnosis CAD Effort angina two vessel disease normal LV function. What does this all mean, and what should be the next steps? Is it something super serious?
