I'm feeling like there's a kind of shaking sensation in my chest whenever I take a breath. It makes me wonder if this is a sign of weakness or if it could be something else. What might be causing this sensation?

View allMy dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.
Ramipril can sometimes cause cough as a side effect. If it is too severe, then the medication may need to be replaced with another anti-hypertensive. It is best to consult your regular cardiologist before making any changes to your regular medication.

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He's 73 and back in November, he was getting these palpitations which led to an angiogram. They found some mild lesions and myocardial bridging, nothing major though. Before all this, he was on a 10 mg dose of Aztor. In December, he had a left hepatectomy because of a cyst, but that's all sorted now. So, in January, the doctor switched things up and put him on Ecosprin 7520 and Prolimet 12.5, and he's been on those for about three months. The thing is, our doctor isn't available right now and my dads next checkup isn't until April. I'm just wondering if it's okay for him to keep taking this medication for another two months or should we be doing something different?
Yes, the same medications can be continued for another two months. Aztor 10 mg can be continued for his cholesterol management. Ecosprin 7520 is important for antiplatelet effects to prevent blood clots, and Prolimet 12.5 is likely prescribed for blood pressure control. It is important to continue these medications as prescribed until his next checkup in April.
