Question

I'm scheduled for a TAH at Muslim Maternity Hospital and was told to get a cardiologist's opinion for fitness what exactly do they check for and is this something I should be worried about? My surgery is coming up soon and I'm not sure what to expect from the cardiology evaluation

Question

I'm really confused and anxious about my heart health. Even though my CT angiography and troponin tests came back negative with no blockages, I can't shake this worry. I've been taking Concor 5 in the morning, and Cardace 5 and Ceruvin A at night. I also lost weight and quit smoking over the last year and a half. But I still keep stressing over the possibility of a heart attack. My blood pressure usually stays under control, between 12080 to 13085, but it tends to spike when I'm feeling really anxious about my heart. What should I do about these feelings and my health?

Question

I'm really worried because my uncle just had a heart attack and we're in a different country than he is. He's been in intensive care for around 6 hours now. Does that mean it's not life-threatening anymore? How long do people usually survive after having a heart attack? Just trying to understand what we should expect.

Question

I've been experiencing heart palpitations with a rate of 130bpm for the past 4 months, and I also have chest pain. I'm only 17 years old. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I saw a physician, but I'm still not feeling better. What's the issue?
