I'm currently undergoing treatment for tuberculosis, and I've noticed I have a heart murmur. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, but I'm experiencing high palpitations. Is it common to have a heart murmur while on TB medication? Should I be worried about the palpitations, or is this just a normal side effect?

I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.
If he is having triple vessel disease,he needs to u dergo Bypass surgery if not there is higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest, visit Cardiologist and follow their advice

I'm 35 and recently got some blood work done. My LDL is at 123, triglycerides are 100, and my cholesterol is 178. I'm pretty worried about the LDL number. Are these levels okay, or should I be concerned? Can you help clear up my doubt?
Based on the provided readings, your LDL level of 123 mgdL falls within the optimal range for LDL cholesterol (less than 100 mgdL is considered optimal). Your triglyceride level of 100 mgdL is also within the normal range (less than 150 mgdL is considered normal). Additionally, your total cholesterol level of 178 mgdL is within the desirable range (less than 200 mgdL is considered desirable). Overall, your lipid profile seems to be within normal limits. However, it is always important to consider other risk factors for heart disease and consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation.
