Accepted Answer

Chelation therapy is a controversial treatment for heart disease. While some studies suggest that it may help reduce the buildup of plaques in the arteries, the overall evidence is not strong enough to recommend it as a standard treatment for CAD patients. It is important to note that chelation therapy also carries risks and side effects. In your case, as a CAD patient who has already undergone bypass surgery, it is crucial to follow the advice of your cardiologist. They are in the best position to assess your individual case and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you. It is important to continue taking any prescribed medications, such as antiplatelets, statins, and blood pressure medications, as these have been proven to reduce the risk of heart complications in CAD patients. If you have concerns about your current treatment plan or are considering chelation therapy, I recommend discussing this with your cardiologist to get personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition.

Question 5

I'm having some discomfort on my left side, and I've already done an ECG and ECHO 2D, both of which came back normal. My SPO2 level is also above 95. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

It's good that your ECG and ECHO-2D reports are normal and your SPO2 level is above 95. The discomfort on your left side could be due to musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the discomfort. If it's related to gas or indigestion, you can take an antacid like ranitidine (Zantac) before meals. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for these medications. If the discomfort persists or worsens, it's best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

take statins for 2 to 3 months minimum to get a good response. 5 days medicine will not give desirable benefits.
