I'm really worried about my 4-year-old who has a 2mm PDA hole in their heart. If we wait another six months before doing a device closure, what kind of impact could that have?

View allMy grandfather is 82 years old and has a 99% RCA lesion, 90% LAD, and 60% LCX lesion. He's been given clexane injections but I'm not sure if he should go for bypass surgery or if medication alone would work for him. What would be the best option given his age and condition?

I'm concerned because my blood pressure is 140, and I've been experiencing strange sensations in my heart. Sometimes it's like palpitations, and other times it feels as if my heart might stop beating. I've already done an ECG, and it came back normal, so my doctor prescribed me Met XL 25 for my BP. Does a normal ECG mean my heart is okay? Should I be worried about these symptoms, or are they serious? What should I do next?
Your BP is 140 and you are experiencing a weird feeling in your heart, sometimes palpitations, and sometimes feeling like your heart will stop beating. You have done an ECG which came out normal. Your doctor has prescribed Met XL 25 for your BP. ECG being normal indicates that your heart is functioning normally. However, your symptoms of palpitations and strange feelings in the heart should not be ignored. Considering your symptoms and BP level, it is important to follow up with your doctor. In addition to Met XL 25 for BP, you can also take a beta-blocker like Atenolol 25mg to help with palpitations and irregular heartbeats. It is important to monitor your BP regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to improve your heart health.

I had an echocardiography test yesterday, and it didn't hurt at all. But today, I'm feeling a bit of pain on the left side of my chest and my heart feels like it's beating more strongly when I'm lying down. Is this normal after having an echo?
It is not common to experience chest pain and a sensation of strong heartbeats after an echocardiography test. These symptoms could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain or anxiety. However, if you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
