I'm really worried and need to know how to use sorbitrate. Should I take it right when I start feeling heart pain, or is there some other way I should be taking it? Please help me understand the right way to use this medication.

Sorbitrate (Isosorbide Dinitrate) works quickly to relieve chest pain caused by angina. It is usually taken at the first sign of chest pain. The usual dosage is 2.5 to 5 mg sublingually (under the tongue) and may be repeated every 5 minutes for a maximum of 3 doses. It is important to follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Remember to seek emergency medical attention if your chest pain persists or worsens after taking Sorbitrate.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been admitted to Nayati hospital in Mathura. He just got diagnosed with complete RBBB today. I'm in a bit of a dilemma about whether we should delay the angioplasty and find a doctor in Delhi NCR or just go ahead and get it done in Mathura. What I'm really curious about is if there's much difference in the quality of angioplasty between Mathura and Delhi. Is it risky to delay the procedure or is it fine to go with the doctors here in Mathura?
In general, the quality of angioplasty procedures can vary between hospitals and regions. However, Delhi NCR is known for having a higher concentration of top-tier hospitals and experienced cardiologists compared to Mathura. If the angioplasty is needed urgently and your father's condition requires immediate attention, it may be advisable to consider getting the procedure done in Delhi NCR where there may be more advanced facilities and expertise available. As for the decision to delay the angioplasty, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare team to assess the risks and benefits based on his specific medical condition and overall health. Delaying the procedure may pose risks in certain cases, so it is crucial to follow the advice of the medical professionals overseeing your father's care. If you decide to seek a doctor in Delhi NCR for the angioplasty, you can consider consulting with specialists at reputed hospitals like AIIMS, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, or Medanta - The Medicity for further evaluation and treatment."
