Question 1

I'm really worried because my father recently had a heart attack on June 4th, and the doctor said he needs a CT angiography. The report came back saying his right arteries are blocked by 100%, 90%, and 70%. I'm not sure what we should do next. Could you tell me what steps we should be taking and maybe give me an idea of how much a bypass surgery might cost?

Accepted Answer

Based on the CT angiography report showing significant blockages in the right arteries, the next step would be to consult with a cardiac surgeon for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The surgery involves using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. As for the approximate cost of bypass surgery, it can vary depending on the hospital, location, and specific circumstances of the surgery. On average, the cost of CABG surgery can range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more. It is recommended to consult with the hospital or healthcare provider for a more accurate estimate based on your father's condition and the chosen medical facility.

Question 3

Hey, I've been on Rosuvas F for about 3 months now and my triglycerides have gone down from 236 to 118, which is great. But over the last 20 days, I've noticed my RBCs, WBCs, and platelet counts have decreased, with my WBC dropping from 8200 to 4200....

Accepted Answer

1. Is there anything to do with BP tablets and reduced rbc, wbc? Or fatty liver? It is unlikely that the reduced RBC and WBC counts are directly related to your BP medication. However, the presence of fatty liver can contribute to abnormalities in blood cell counts. To address this issue, you may consider discussing with your doctor about switching to a different BP medication that is less likely to affect blood cell counts. Additionally, managing your fatty liver through lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also help improve your blood cell counts. 2. Should I be worried about epididymitis with funiculitis, if so which specialist or what of treatment should I have? Epididymitis with funiculitis is a condition that involves inflammation of the epididymis and spermatic cord. It is important to seek medical attention from a Urologist for further evaluation and management. Treatment may involve antibiotics to address any underlying infection, pain management, and supportive measures such as rest and elevation of the scrotum. Follow up with the Urologist is crucial to monitor your condition and ensure appropriate treatment.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations that feel like your heart is pounding or racing. In your case, it seems like you are experiencing occasional irregular heartbeats. One common cause of palpitations is stress or anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take **Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor)** 25mg once daily. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, seek immediate medical attention.
