I'm just wondering, after having an angiogram and getting a 3.2 stent placed, how long will I need to be on all these meds? I'm currently taking BRILINTA 90mg, ECOSPRIN 75mg, ALDACTONE 25mg, CARDACE 2.5mg, LASIX 40mg, IVABRAD 5mg, and ATOPLIP 80mg. It's a bit overwhelming and I'd like to know more about the typical duration for taking them.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My current readings are Chod Pod at 218, LDL cholesterol at 150, and Chol Hdl at 4.7. Could these affect my penis erection?
Elevated cholesterol levels, such as an LDL cholesterol level of 150, can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to plaque buildup. This can reduce blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis, and potentially lead to erectile dysfunction (ED). Managing your cholesterol through diet, exercise, and possibly medications can improve overall vascular health and reduce the risk of ED.

I'm experiencing a sharp pain in my chest area that worsens when I breathe in, and it radiates into my back. I'm also having heart palpitations. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm really worried about this.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related issues.

I'm really curious about something - I've had tons of ECGs, echos, and TMTs over the past year, and while I suspect I might have POTS because my heart rate jumps to 120 bpm when I walk, that's not what I'm most concerned about right now. Today, I'm experiencing these really strong, sharp chest pains. They come and go, happening in one small spot that hurts for 23 seconds and then disappears, or sometimes it's a dull ache lasting 24 seconds and then it's gone. Occasionally, the pain stays for 30 seconds to a minute, which I've found is called Texidor's twinges. The sharp pains are intense, happening in one spot or feeling like multiple wires in my chest wall are hurting for a second, but then they just vanish. Even with the dull pains, they stop after a few seconds, and I've also been coughing for the last few days. Do you think this could be heart-related? Sometimes, stretching makes the pain worse before it eases up. What could be causing this?
It is important to consider the possibility of musculoskeletal chest pain, especially given the description of sharp, localized pains that last for a few seconds and can be triggered or worsened by stretching. The fact that you have been coughing for the last few days also suggests a potential respiratory component to your symptoms. To address the sharp chest pains, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, using a heating pad on the affected area may help alleviate the discomfort. It is also advisable to practice deep breathing exercises to help relax the chest muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be prudent to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any cardiac issues.
