Had open heart surgery with a bental procedure back in August 2014 and now dealing with seroma pinna swelling and fluid buildup in my outer ear. The doctor suggested either needle drainage or surgery, but I'm on daily warfarin 10mg. Is it safe to go ahead with either option given the blood thinners?

I'm really worried about my brother who's 31. He's been having chest pain on and off for the past month, every 3 to 4 days, right in the middle of his chest, and it lasts around 12 hours each time. He saw a doctor nearby who did an X-ray, but they said his chest looked fine. Could you take a look at the X-ray and report? We really need some good advice on what to do next.

I've recently had a CT angiogram done and I'm a bit worried. Are there any side effects I should be aware of related to the heart? Could you provide some guidance on what to expect afterward? I'm open to any advice you might have.

CT angiograms are generally safe procedures with minimal side effects. However, some potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the contrast dye used, kidney problems in patients with pre-existing kidney issues, and radiation exposure. It is important to stay hydrated after the procedure to help flush the contrast dye out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe allergic reactions, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm really concerned about my pulse rate which is constantly between 120 to 130, and it sometimes shoots up to 150 or 170 when I'm feeling anxious. Lately, I've been feeling pretty worn out, and since I had a bad fever last month, it just seems like my pulse is higher than ever. It almost feels like I can hear it all the time, like listening through a stethoscope. Do you have any tips to help me bring down my pulse rate naturally, without having to go through treatments, scans, or using medication?
