I'm really worried about my dad. He had angioplasty done on March 1st, but he's still gasping and not feeling well. We're consulting with Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, but it doesn't seem like there's any improvement. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice on how to help him feel better?

t's important to address his symptoms of gasping and feeling unwell. In this case, considering his recent angioplasty, it's important to ensure he is not experiencing any complications related to the procedure. One possible cause of his symptoms could be related to heart function or fluid buildup in the lungs. It's important to follow up with his current consultant, Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with fluid retention and shortness of breath. The usual starting dose for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, but the actual dose will depend on his specific condition and should be determined by his healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like Ramipril (Altace) can help improve heart function post-angioplasty. The usual starting dose for Ramipril is 2.5-5 mg once a day, but again, the dose may vary based on his individual needs. It's important for your dad to continue following up with his healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of his symptoms.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because every time I move my left hand, I get this sudden cramp in the center of my chest. A couple of years back, I had an ECG, an echo, and a TMT done, but everything was normal. I also had an endoscopy, which only showed H. pylori. This pain has recently started again, and I'm not sure what it means. Could it be related to the H. pylori, or should I be concerned about something else?

I've been dealing with hypertension for the last 12 years and usually take TOZAM Losartan 50mg Amlodipine 5mg in the morning. But about a month ago, I noticed some palpitations and sweating, and when I checked, my blood pressure was 95150. After getting checked at the hospital, they did an angiogram and said theres a minor artery disease with a 30% block. Now, they've put me on TOZAM and Prolomate XL 25mg Metoprolol 25mg every morning, plus Rosutor Gold Aspirin at night. I'm wondering, do I really need to be on both TOZAM and Prolomate, or is there something else I should be considering?
