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.

View allI'm really worried about this ongoing pain I've been having. I've had pain in my left chest, shoulder, arm, and leg for about 56 months now. I got all the tests done like ECG, 2D echo, and a chest X-ray, and they were all fine, but that was 34 months ago. However, they did find a vitamin D deficiency, and there was something about my cervical spine in the X-ray. Now, for the past 34 days, I've been experiencing pain in my left jaw too. Should I be concerned that this is related to my heart or do you think there's something else I need to look into? What would be your advice on what to do next?
Given your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to consider the possibility of angina or heart-related chest pain. Since you are experiencing left jaw pain along with other symptoms, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) as a precautionary measure. Additionally, continue to address your vitamin D deficiency with supplements and follow up on your cervical issue with appropriate treatment.

My brother has diabetes and had a heart check-up in January. His TMT echo and ECG came back negative, and his LVEF is 67. He's been experiencing mild shortness of breath for the past couple of months. Could this be related to any heart issues?
Shortness of breath can have various causes, including heart problems. Given his history of diabetes and recent heart check-up with normal results, the shortness of breath may not be directly related to his heart. It could be due to other factors such as respiratory issues, anemia, or even anxiety. However, considering his medical history, it's important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any potential cardiac issues. In the meantime, he can take a low dose of diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) under medical supervision to help with the shortness of breath.

I'm 21 years old and feeling pretty weak. My weight's only 47 kg, and I'm experiencing chest pain whenever I do any heavy work. I also have heart palpitations, feel weak, and yawn a lot. I've attached my x-ray reportcould you take a look and let me know what's going on?
Based on your symptoms of chest pain, heart palpitations, weakness, and excessive yawning, along with your low weight, it is important to rule out any underlying cardiac issues or anemia. Since you have provided an x-ray report, it would be best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For chest pain and heart palpitations, you can take **Metoprolol** 25mg twice daily to help with the symptoms. Additionally, if anemia is confirmed, you can take **Ferrous Sulfate** 325mg once daily to improve your iron levels and alleviate weakness. Please follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate management.
