I had a stent put in my heart, and now, two years later, its blocked again. My doctor had to place another stent inside the blocked one. Is this normal or something I should be worried about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Placing another stent inside an existing one is known as a "stent-in-stent" procedure. It is a common approach to manage blocked stents. The new stent helps to reinforce the existing one and improve blood flow. It is important to continue with prescribed medications such as dual antiplatelet therapy to prevent blood clots. Examples of medications include Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg daily and Aspirin 81mg daily. Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor the stents and overall heart health.

View allI've been taking Inapure 2.5 twice a day for a couple of weeks, and I've noticed my pulse rate drops to around 55-60 when I'm resting at night. Is it okay if I switch to taking Inapure 2.5 only in the mornings?
It is not recommended to change your medication regimen without consulting your doctor first. Inapure 2.5 is a brand name for the drug Indapamide, which is a diuretic used to treat high blood pressure. Changing the timing of your medication can affect its effectiveness in controlling your blood pressure throughout the day. It's important to discuss any concerns or changes in your medication routine with your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. His recent report showed that his ejection fraction is at 38 when it's supposed to be around 50. He's having trouble with breathing too. Can you tell me how serious this is and what kind of treatments or precautions we should be considering?

I've been feeling something a bit strange lately whenever I lie down, especially on my side or stomach, I can actually feel my heart beating. And when I press my ear to the pillow, I can hear it clearly in my ears. Ive already had an ECG, echo, and thyroid tests, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal too. I dont have any other symptoms, so Im wondering what this could be or if it's something I should be worried about. What should I do next?
u don't worry nothing will happen
