Question

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old who has a 2mm PDA hole in their heart. If we wait another six months before doing a device closure, what kind of impact could that have?

Question

I'm wondering about my Atorvastatin prescription. I've been taking the 10 mg dose prescribed by Dr. Umashankar. When I saw you yesterday, I asked whether I should continue with it, but I'm not sure about what to do next. Also, the brand I was using isn't easily available. Could you advise on what brand I should go for and if I should keep taking it?

Question

So, it's been almost 2 months now since I had COVID, and I've been dealing with some chest pain and this weird pulling sensation in my left hand and neck for the past month. I'm struggling with sleep too. I saw a doctor and had like 5 ECGs, all normal, but the pain's not really going away. It's scaring me a lot. The chest pain has reduced a bit, but now there's this pulling at my elbow and pain in my left shoulder. I had a troponin test which was at 0.04 and my blood sugar's normal too. What could this be? Is it still related to COVID?

Question

Can I drink coconut water after having angioplasty or a stent put in my heart? Also, what kind of fruits and grains juices are good for me following the procedure? I'm a bit worried about how to follow a proper diet now.
