I'm really concerned about my dad. He's dealing with heart issues and fluid retention, and while he's on the right meds and treatments, he still seems to lose energy often and can't do his usual daily stuff. Is this kind of fatigue normal for someone in his condition, or could there be a particular reason behind it? I'm also curious if there's any surgical option that might help his situation. What do you think?

View allI'm a bit confused about my recent heart tests and need some advice. I had a TMT test that was positive a few months ago, and even after showing it to a cardiologist and doing an echo test, which was normal, they still suggested an angiogram because the TMT stayed positive. When comparing the latest TMT results to the previous one, it seemed slightly better but still came back positive. So, I went for a coronary angiogram and found out I have double vessel disease. The plan mentioned possibly needing a PTCA with a stent in the mid LCX RCA. I'm wondering if managing it with medication, diet, meditation, and exercise might be an option, or if the stent is really necessary. I don't have any symptoms like chest pain, hand pain, or dizziness, and my blood pressure and sugar levels have been under control for years. What do you suggest?
Based on your medical history and the findings from your tests, it is important to follow the treatment plan given by your healthcare provider. In addition to the PTCA with stent procedure, it is crucial to adhere to a healthy lifestyle which includes medication, diet, meditation, and exercise to help control your condition. The prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, and Metoprolol will help in managing your condition. It is also essential to follow a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, and maintain a healthy weight. Regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist are necessary to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?
Mild, intermittent chest pain lasting a few seconds, located in the middle of your chest, may indicate non-cardiac causes such as acid reflux, anxiety, or musculoskeletal issues, but to rule out cardiac conditions like angina or myocardial infarction, it's essential to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and possibly stress tests or imaging studies.
