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.

Yes, you can consume coconut water after angioplasty surgery. It is a good source of hydration and electrolytes. As for fruits and grains juice, you can consider consuming fresh fruit juices like apple juice or pomegranate juice. Additionally, you can also have barley or oat grain juice for added nutrition. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health condition.

View allI've been experiencing a sharp pain on the left side of my chest for a few seconds when I'm exercising, like jumping or running. It's been happening since last week. I've had an ECG, 2D echo, and TMT done last month and everything came back normal. I also get gas pain in my chest. But this pain specifically seems to come in the morning while I'm working out. Should I be worried that this is something serious?
Based on your description, it is possible that the chest pain you are experiencing during exercise could be due to musculoskeletal causes or related to gas pain. Since your ECG, 2D echo, and TMT tests were normal, it is less likely to be related to your heart. To help alleviate the gas pain, you can try over-the-counter antacids like **Tums** (dosage: as directed on the package) to relieve gas and bloating. Additionally, for musculoskeletal chest pain, you can try taking **Ibuprofen** (dosage: 400mg-800mg every 6 hours as needed) for pain relief. However, if the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm worried because my pulse rate has been really high even when I'm just restinglike around 105 to 115. Also, for the past three days, I've been having shortness of breath, and I know I have mild asthma, but I'm not using my inhaler right now. What can I do to lower my pulse rate to normal?

I'm experiencing palpitations on the right side of my chest, and my 2D echo results came back normal. Can you help me understand what's causing this?
Since your 2D Echo results are normal, the palpitations may not be directly related to a heart condition. I recommend trying to reduce stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques. Additionally, limiting caffeine intake and staying hydrated can also help. If the palpitations persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
