I had a heart attack from smoking back in March 2017 and found out my left main artery was 100% blocked. I'm on meds like Roustor, GoldPlanep, and Skelexon now. Is it possible for medication to completely reverse the blockage? How can I find out if it's really reversed?

I've been feeling this sharp pain on the left side of my chest, and it's got me worried. It seems to flare up whenever I climb stairs or if I try to sleep on my left side. Does this sound like anything serious? Should I be concerned about it, or is there something specific I should be doing to manage it?

Based on your symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or even a cardiac issue. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. I recommend you to take an immediate ECG test and consult a cardiologist. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief.

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Whenever I get tired, I start having short breaths and feel this chest pain. I can walk for a bit if I go slowly, but after a few minutes, I start running out of breath and the chest pain comes back. Does this sound like something serious? What should I do about it?
