I had an angioplasty about four years ago and got a stent put in. I'm still taking blood thinners. Is getting the COVID vaccine safe for me? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect my condition.

View allI'm dealing with anxiety from last year, and recently I found out I have high blood pressure. The doctor ran an ECG and said I have left ventricular hypertrophy. I'm on medication for hypertension now. Should I be worried about this left ventricular hypertrophy? I'd love some guidance on this.
"Left ventricular hypertrophy is a serious condition as it indicates that the muscle of the heart's main pumping chamber has thickened. It can be caused by conditions like hypertension. It is important to manage both your anxiety and hypertension to prevent further complications. In addition to your hypertension medication, your doctor may prescribe medications like beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors to help manage left ventricular hypertrophy. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are crucial in managing this condition."

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?
Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence

What if my heart rate is naturally between 90 and 110? I haven't had any problems so far, but I'm just wondering if there's any reason to be worried.
A resting heart rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered normal for adults. A heart rate of 90 to 110 beats per minute can be normal for some individuals, especially if you are physically active or under stress. However, if you are experiencing no symptoms and have no underlying health conditions, this heart rate range may not be a cause for concern. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized assessment.
