I'm a bit worried about my 65-year-old relative who recently had an angiography, and it showed they have about three blockages in the 70-80% range. We're not totally sure about the accuracy of the angiography report we got, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have another angiography done. If so, how long should we wait between the two procedures? Also, could doing a repeat angiography pose any risks or problems for them?

Repeat angiography can be done if there are doubts about the initial report. The interval between two angiographies is usually around 6-12 months, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendation of the treating physician. Repeating angiography may pose some risks such as contrast-induced nephropathy or allergic reactions, but these risks are generally low and can be managed by the medical team.

View allI'm dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and my pulse rate is pretty much always over 90. My doctor has me on Ciplar LA 40 once a day for a few months. I've read that stopping this medication can cause heart attacks and other scary stuff. Is it really safe for me to be on this? I'm also taking Ecospirin 75 at night to help with blood flow. What should I do?
While Propranolol (Ciplar LA) and Aspirin are generally safe when prescribed together, it's crucial to follow your doctors recommendations for proper management. If you're ever in doubt or feel uncomfortable about the medication, dont hesitate to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider to address your concerns and explore options.

I'm having some health anxiety these past few months, especially about my heart, like cardiophobia, I guess. Because of this, I've been experiencing pain in my left hand, from my arm down to my fingers. I'm really worried and can't help but wonder, is this just anxiety causing it, or is there something else going on?
Health anxiety, or cardiophobia, can indeed cause physical symptoms like pain in the left arm, as anxiety can manifest with muscle tension and heightened sensitivity to bodily sensations. Since you have had normal cardiac tests and evaluations, it's likely that anxiety is contributing to your symptoms. It's important to address your anxiety through appropriate methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with tools to manage your anxiety and reduce the physical symptoms you're experiencing.
