I'm really concerned about a blockage in all three arteries. I'm worried but also wondering how much time we might have to safely delay surgery. Can you provide some guidance on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The patient should not delay surgery if there is blockage in all three arteries at such high percentages. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent any serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. Please consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've been having a bit of a worry for a while now. I'm 21 and recently went through getting an ECG done a few times, around 5 to 6 times at different hospitals, but none of them could get a proper reading. It's strange because I've never had any heart issues before. The doctors keep mentioning that my pulse rate seems to always be on the higher side. I'm stressing out because this issue made me fail medical exams for some government jobs. What could be causing this? Any suggestions on what steps I should take next? It's really starting to get to me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called sinus tachycardia, which is when your heart rate is consistently elevated. To help manage this, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.

I'm having this persistent pain right in the middle of my chest and it's really starting to worry me. It's always there, and now I'm also experiencing trouble breathing. Could this be something serious?
Since your symptoms have been persistent and involve chest pain and difficulty breathing, I highly recommend that you seek immediate medical attention. A healthcare professional will likely conduct a thorough evaluation, which could include: Physical examination Blood tests to check for signs of infection or heart problems Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for heart-related issues Chest X-ray to rule out lung issues Echocardiogram (if heart-related issues are suspected) When to Seek Urgent Medical Help: Severe chest pain, especially if it radiates to the arms, neck, jaw, or back, or if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or have nausea. Difficulty breathing that worsens or if you have shortness of breath at rest. Any other symptoms like sweating, fainting, or swelling.
