Doctors are suggesting surgery but I'm unsure about the pros and cons. What if bleeding happens again after surgery because of the actilyse injection? What could be the consequences? Are there other options besides surgery, and can this issue be fixed without it? I have an ICD in my heart from an operation three years ago, and now there's a clot again.

Discussing alternatives like anticoagulation adjustments or IVC filters with a cardiologist is key before considering surgery again.

I've been experiencing this breathlessness, and every time I check my pulse, it feels like there's a mild heartbeat with a skipped beat. Should I be worried about this?

Sometimes feeling breathless and experiencing palpitations can be concerning. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try using a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and reduce the sensation of skipped beats. However, it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a healthcare professional.

I'm on some medications right nowConcor 2.5, Paxidep CR 25, and Nexpro RD 40for panic disorder and concentric LVH. I've been thinking about doing some cardio exercises like running, jogging, push-ups, sit-ups, and maybe some light weight lifting with a dumbbell. I'm planning to do this for about 30 to 40 minutes, five days a week, because I've noticed I'm gaining some weight. I weigh 70 kg at a height of 5'3". Is it okay to keep up with these exercises while on these meds, or should I be cautious?
