Earlier two heart blockages were found and now two more have been detected. I'm really confused would angioplasty be better or should I consider bypass surgery this time?

With four confirmed heart blockages, a discussion with your cardiologist about both angioplasty and bypass surgery is crucial. Bypass surgery is often favored when multiple blockages are present, especially if the left main coronary artery is involved. Angioplasty might be an option for less extensive blockages or if bypass surgery isn't feasible

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I just got all my heart check-ups done. The results for my ECG, ECHO, and TMT seemed fine, but my echo report mentioned something about trivial tricuspid regurgitation and trivial mitral regurgitation. My doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but I'm eager to start some physical activity like gym workouts and swimming to lose weight. Is it safe for me to go ahead with cardio and strength training with these heart conditions?

yes mild exercises are advised.

I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?

Based on your blood pressure readings, even though your other health parameters are normal, it is important to address the high blood pressure. I recommend starting medication to help lower your blood pressure. In addition to medication, it is also beneficial to make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. These lifestyle modifications can further help in controlling your blood pressure.
