Question

My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?

Question

I've been feeling really anxious and out of breath for the past month. This breathlessness sticks with me all day and seems to come and go unpredictably. My ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Could this be causing my anxiety and breathing issues? I'm really worried about what this means and could use some guidance.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I got an abnormal ECG report. It mentioned something about "RS inversion" in the area between V1 and V2. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned about this finding on my ECG?

Question

I recently did some exercise for about half an hour, and afterward, I felt my heartbeat kind of radiating up to my head, which was really unusual. I could actually hear my heartbeat and felt this throbbing in my head. I did an ECG and echo2D a couple of weeks ago, and everything seemed okay back then. Is this something I should be worried about or should I go see a doctor?
