I'm really concerned because my dad just had Angioplasty and Thrombosuction after he suffered a major heart attack last week. Now he's experiencing pain in the fingers of the hand that was used for the procedure. Has anyone seen this before, and what should we do about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pain in the fingers of the hand used for angioplasty could be due to several factors, including irritation from the catheter insertion site, bruising, or local inflammation. It's important to monitor the area for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge. Resting the hand and applying a cold compress can help alleviate discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, or if there are signs of infection or compromised blood flow (such as color changes in the fingers or numbness), please contact your father's healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with this left-side chest pain for the past 4 months, and it's starting to worry me. I saw a doctor who asked me to get an ECG, an X-ray, and a lipid profile. The ECG and X-ray came back normal, but my cholesterol and triglycerides were high. The meds he gave me brought those levels down within 2 months, but the chest pain just won't go away completely. I can still play and get my work done, but the pain shows up sometimes at night or when I'm at my desk. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
It's good that your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are normal now. Since your chest pain persists, it's important to consider other possible causes. Given your history of high cholesterol and chest pain, it's important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of angina or other heart-related conditions. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice a day to see if it helps with the chest pain, as it could be related to acid reflux. However, it's crucial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm having high BP of around 13090 for the past five years and was on Aten 0.25 and Restyl 0.25 for sleep issues. After a couple of years, I had to increase Restyl to 0.5 because the lower dose wasn't helping much with sleep. Then after five years, that too stopped being effective, so I decided to stop taking both Restyl and Aten. I'm trying out ayurvedic medicines now. A friend of mine mentioned having 5 to 10 ml of beer with 6% alcohol for better sleep. I'm curious if that's a good idea or if there are better alternatives.
it's not good
