I recently had a heart attack and my LVEF is only 26. The angiography shows 100% blockage in my LAD and 80% in another artery. One doctor recommends CABG while another suggests ICD implantation. Is it safe to undergo surgery with such a low LVEF? I'm really confused about which option is better for my condition.

View allI'm worried about my blood pressure and want to make sure I'm using the right type of salt. Is rock salt a good option for someone with high blood pressure? And how much salt should I really be consuming each day to stay healthy?
For people with high blood pressure, it is recommended to use iodized salt with reduced sodium content. Rock salt, also known as Himalayan pink salt, is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure due to its high sodium content. The recommended daily intake of salt for adults is about 5 grams, which is approximately one teaspoon. It is important to monitor your salt intake to help manage high blood pressure.

I've been having chest pain when I take deep breaths, mostly in the upper part of my chest. I looked it up online, and based on my symptoms, it says surgery might be needed. Could this be GERD or something else?
Chest pain, especially when taking deep breaths, can have several causes, including GERD, lung conditions, heart problems, and even anxiety. While GERD is a possibility, it's important to rule out other conditions like pneumonia or pulmonary embolism, as they can also cause chest pain with deep breathing. It's crucial to seek medical advice to determine the specific cause of your chest pain and receive appropriate treatment
