I'm really worried about the angiography report that showed blockages in all three arteries and their branches, with numbers like 100, 100, and 95. It's causing lung congestion and I'm scared about what this means for health. What options are available for treatment?

It sounds like you're dealing with severe coronary artery blockage in all three major arteries, with the blockage percentages being quite high. Additionally, the congestion is causing fluid buildup in the lungs, which can make breathing difficult. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for the best treatment approach.

My brother has been feeling some discomfort on the left side of his chest, and the doctor said his ECG is normal, just showing sinus tachycardia. He's really anxious and tends to worry about his health a lot, especially after recovering from COVID. We're wondering about getting an echo done, but the doctor suggested waiting a month. Is it okay to wait that long, or should we consider doing it sooner given his anxiety and constant thinking about his health?

Can delay the echo testing for up to one month after the ECG. It is important to monitor his symptoms during this time. Given his history of anxiety and hypochondria, it may be beneficial for him to consult with a mental health professional to address his concerns and manage his anxiety. It is also important for him to continue following up with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance."
