Question

I'm feeling a bit concerned. I had an angioplasty with a stent placed and went for a follow-up after 7 days like the doctor suggested. But now I'm feeling this weird pricking sensation and some discomfort. Is that kind of pricking feeling normal after you get a stent placed?

Question

I'm working from home and I've had some episodes of heart palpitations like 4 or 5 times, along with mild giddiness, but I was able to walk around during those times. That's really all I felt back then. Just to be safe, I went through all the heart tests twiceECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood testsand they all came back normal. But my blood pressure and LDL are a bit high, around 140. I've never experienced this before working from home, and nothing's happened for the last 67 months. However, I've been having these symptoms lately: a pinpoint mild pain in my left chest that only lasts a few seconds, sometimes a fluttering or pounding feeling in my left chest or other body parts, and occasionally I feel dizzy, lightheaded, or like I'm floating. So, I'm wondering if this is a heart-related issue or something else entirely, and whatever it is, what can I do to make these symptoms stop? I'm really worried that something bad might happen to me.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent stress test result which showed mildly positive for provcable myocardial ischaemia. I'm not fully sure what this means and I'm worried about what it might mean for my heart health. Could you help me understand this a bit better and maybe suggest what preventive or corrective steps I should be looking into? I just want to make sure I'm taking care of myself in the best way possible.

Question

I've been experiencing this right lower chest pain every time I jog for about 5 to 10 minutes, and it's starting to worry me. I'm not sure why it keeps happening. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that usually happens and might go away on its own?
