I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.

View allI'm a 31-year-old guy and have been experiencing chest pain since September 2017. All my tests like ECG, echocardiography, lipid profile, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram have come back normal. I also get pain in my hand and jaw, along with dizziness every day. My cardiologists told me it's anxiety disorder, but I'm still worried because the pain is persistent. The doctor has prescribed flavedon MR 35 to take twice a day and said to continue for a month. Should I expect to stop the medication after one month if the symptoms persist, or is this something I might need long-term? I'm just trying to figure out if this plan seems right given my symptoms.
Yes you can use it no problem and as your doctor said you might be having Anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management

My grandfather has been diagnosed with a sclerotic aortic valve and also has COPD. I'm really concerned about his health. Could you suggest any treatments or tests that we should consider? I'm just worried about how these conditions might affect him and would appreciate some advice on what steps we should take.
For sclerotic aortic valve, the treatment usually involves managing symptoms and monitoring the condition. Medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, or diuretics may be prescribed to manage symptoms. In severe cases, aortic valve replacement surgery may be necessary. For COPD, treatment may include bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. It is important to avoid smoking and minimize exposure to lung irritants. Tests that may be recommended for further evaluation include echocardiogram to assess the aortic valve function, pulmonary function tests to evaluate lung function, and chest X-ray or CT scan to assess the lungs. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist and pulmonologist is essential to monitor the conditions and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm 26 and I've been experiencing a weird situation recently. Whenever I try to take a nap during the day, I notice that my heart starts racing, but it usually settles down after a bit. However, after waking up, the palpitations come back for a while, which is really unsettling. This only seems to happen in the daytime, not at night. I recently finished treatment for a panic attack, including psychiatric counseling. Since I'm still having these palpitations, I'm unsure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms and history of panic attacks, it is possible that you are experiencing residual anxiety leading to palpitations. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. You can take Propranolol 10mg to 20mg once daily as needed to help reduce the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
