I'm really concerned because my dad had an angioplasty a few days ago, and they put in a stent. Since then, he's been having a really bad dry cough at night. The doctor gave us some medicine, but it doesnt seem to be making any difference. I'm worried this might affect his stent or his heart. Could this cough be connected to the procedure or the medication? What should we do next?

View allI'm 36 and dealing with high cholesterol, but my heart checkup in May 2019 was all clear except for that. Just a couple of days ago, I suddenly got dizzy and sweaty during dinner, but I didn't have chest pain or trouble breathing. When I went to the hospital, they did two ECGs a couple of hours apart, and the doctor noticed some changes. They said my blood Troponin levels were negative though. Should I be worried about these changes in the ECG? Is it something I need to look into further?
Based on the information provided, it is important to follow up on the changes noted in your ECG to rule out any potential cardiac issues. The presence of dizziness and sweating, along with ECG changes, warrants further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, to help manage your high cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider."

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been having this mild chest pain on the left side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but happens occasionally, and it feels like my chest is getting a bit heavier. I notice my heartbeat sometimes during these episodes, and there's this weird sensation like something's there in my chest. The pain usually spreads to my left hand and shoulder, and my hand feels kind of numb for about 20 seconds before it all goes away. I went through an ECG, which showed an abnormal heartbeat, but the 2D Echo came out normal. I had COVID-19 around 56 months ago and took the prescribed medication. This chest pain started only after I recovered. Could it be related to my past COVID infection, or is there something else going on?
