Im 28 and had a heart attack last year it was scary. I had an angioplasty with one stent and I'm on medications like clopitab, ecosprin, and prolomettonact now. My doctor recently said I'm recovering well and to just make some lifestyle changes, which I've been doing for a year I take 30-minute walks daily and have quit chewing tobacco. Heres what's been on my mind: Should I get married? Should I be worried about that? I was too embarrassed to ask my doctor about it, but it's been weighing on me a lot. I mean, can I lead a normal married life without putting myself at risk? Id really appreciate your advice.

Based on your history of heart attack and current medications, it is important to consider certain factors before making a decision about marriage. It is positive that you are following lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and quitting tobacco chewing, which are beneficial for your heart health. In terms of marriage, it is important to have open communication with your partner about your health condition. It would also be advisable to consult with your cardiologist regarding any specific concerns or precautions to take before getting married. Your doctor can provide personalized advice based on your individual health status and help you make an informed decision. Overall, with proper management of your heart condition, adherence to medications, and a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to lead a fulfilling life, including marriage.

I'm worried about my health since my hs-CRP is 3.60 and CRP is 4.20. Is this something I should be really concerned about and get treated right away? I had an angiogram back in December 2020, and everything came out normal then. Also, I've been dealing with high blood pressure and diabetes. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean?

Given your history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and previous angiogram, it is important to manage your CRP levels to reduce the risk of further complications. I recommend starting a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower your CRP levels and reduce inflammation in the arteries. Additionally, you should continue to manage your high blood pressure with medications like Amlodipine 5mg daily and control your diabetes with medications like Metformin 1000mg twice daily. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management are also important in managing inflammation and reducing cardiovascular risk.
