View allI'm wondering if it's necessary to get an echo test for my mom. She's 47 and has slightly high cholesterol, but her ECG is normal. Should we be concerned about any potential heart issues, or is it okay to skip the echo test for now?
If your mother has high cholesterol and there are concerns about her heart health, it may be beneficial to get an echocardiogram (echo) done even if the ECG is normal. An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart and can provide valuable information about the structure and function of the heart. It can help assess for any potential heart conditions that may not be detected by an ECG alone. In this case, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist who can recommend the appropriate course of action based on your mother's individual health profile.

I'm a bit concerned about my dad. He had a CABG surgery last week and was discharged from the hospital this Tuesday. It's been three days now, but he's been having this persistent coughing, especially when he talks. It's really affecting his sleep and mood because it hurts where his chest was stitched. Should I be worried about this? Is this something that commonly happens after such operations? What should we possibly do about it?

I've been dealing with high BP for about 8 months now. I was taking Stamlo 5 but it didn't really get it under control. So last month, I added Telma 20 to the mix and it's helped a bit with the numbers, which are now around 180185. But lately, I've been having these episodes where I can't catch my breath for a few seconds, and it feels like my heart suddenly skips a beat. It's kind of worrying and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could this be related to my medication or is it something else?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
