Is bypass surgery the only option or are there alternatives like balloon angioplasty that could work instead? I'm worried about going straight to bypass and want to know what other treatments might be possible

View allMy blood pressure has been low for the past 15 days never happened before. This is the first time. I also took some meds for wisdom tooth surgery recently. What should I do about it?
If your blood pressure has consistently been low for the past 15 days, especially after a recent wisdom tooth surgery, it's important to consult with your doctor or dentist. While a single instance of low blood pressure might be manageable with lifestyle adjustments, persistent low blood pressure could indicate an underlying issue. The medications you took for the wisdom tooth surgery could also be a contributing factor

I'm concerned because my mother-in-law is scheduled for pacemaker surgery soon, and we recently lost a relative after a similar procedure. I'm really worried about what to expect. Whats the success rate of pacemaker surgeries? Are there usually a lot of complications afterward? And is it possible for someone to live normally after getting a pacemaker? Would love some guidance on what we should be prepared for.
Pacemaker surgery is generally considered a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. Most patients experience significant improvements in quality of life and symptom relief after the surgery. While complications can occur, they are relatively rare and may include infection, bleeding, or issues with the pacemaker leads. Most people can live a normal, active life with a pacemaker, but it's important to follow the cardiologist's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to ensure the device is functioning properly. Discuss your concerns with the cardiologist at Medanta Hospital to understand the specific risks and benefits in your mother-in-law's case.
