I'm 27 and work as an engineer. I recently had angioplasty after a heart attack, and now I'm really worried about my future. Should I still consider getting married? I'm afraid if I tell a potential partner about my heart issues, they might back out. It's making me think about staying single forever. What should I do?

getting a heart attack at young age and undergoing angioplasty should not restrict you from leading a healthy and happy life. You can marry after a heart attack after informing your future wife. Regarding your cardiac rehabilitation and future lifestyle advice i need further details.

View allI'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.

I've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?
The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I know someone who's a 20-year-old female, not married, and she has 50 percent artery blockage. She's also experiencing breathlessness and chest pain when she's physically active. She doesn't have diabetes or hypertension, so we're confused about whether she needs stenting or not. What would you suggest?
A person with 50 percent artery blockage who is experiencing breathlessness and chest pain during physical activity may benefit from stenting. For this individual, I recommend considering the use of aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, the final decision on stenting should be made after consulting with a cardiologist. It's important to also make lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking to improve heart health."
