Question 1

Can we avoid going through angioplasty even though there are two clots in the heart? The patient seems fine, so I'm wondering if we could just start rehab without surgery.

Accepted Answer

Angioplasty may be necessary to treat the clotting in the heart to prevent any potential complications. However, if the patient is stable and asymptomatic, a conservative approach can be considered. It is important to closely monitor the patient's condition and follow a strict medication regimen. Rehabilitation can be started under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Medications such as antiplatelets (e.g. Clopidogrel) and anticoagulants (e.g. Warfarin) may be prescribed to manage the clotting. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to assess the need for any further interventions.

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. However, the symptoms you are describing, including indigestion, sour water regurgitation, chest pain, shoulder pain, light-headedness, dizziness, and burning sensation in the stomach, are more commonly associated with acidity or acid reflux. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help neutralize the stomach acid. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Nexium to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
