I'm trying to understand what's included in an angiogram report. I received a printed report, but later found out there should also be a CD provided as evidence. When I asked the hospital about it, they gave me one, but only after charging me. I'm worried why they didn't give it to me initially. Is there something fishy going on? Shouldn't they provide the CD in case I need to get a second opinion from another doctor?

In an angiogram report, the findings typically include details about the blood vessels in the heart, any blockages or narrowing, and the overall condition of the heart. The report may also mention the presence of any plaques or clots. As for the CD with images, it usually contains visual images of the angiogram procedure for further reference or consultation with other healthcare providers. It is not uncommon for hospitals to charge for providing a CD of medical images, as there may be costs associated with creating and providing this additional documentation. While it is ideal for hospitals to provide all necessary information upfront, sometimes there may be administrative reasons for not including the CD initially. If you have concerns about the process or the completeness of the information provided, it is best to directly discuss this with the hospital or healthcare provider who conducted the angiogram. They should be able to address any questions or issues you may have regarding the report and CD.

View allI've been noticing a few things and I'm a bit concerned. Breathing is fine and I don't have any throat pain, but I've been experiencing some chest pain and occasionally my leg hurts. Sometimes there's mucus too. I haven't been exercising for the last month and have mostly been staying at home. Could this be related to my lack of activity, or should I be worried about something else?
once get your ECG done as a screening for cardiac issues,if it turns out to be normal, General physician consultation would help you.

My aunt has a heart problem and doctors recommended a heart valve replacement, including Dr Anil Bhan last year. We couldn't afford it then, but now she's admitted at SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar and her condition is serious. She has young daughters, so we really need to figure this out. Can you tell me the approximate cost for the valve replacement surgery, including hospital stay and medicines? We need to arrange funds quickly to save her life.
Heart has 4 valves in all . I would need to see a 2 D Echo and then decide what surgery and then predict appropriate cost

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's had a history of cardiac attacks and has been on various medications since her last one. Right now, she takes Arkamin in the morning and night, and Ecosprin 75 in the afternoon. She also uses Nexpro 40 and Ganaton 50mg for acidity. The problem is that her blood pressure is consistently around 160-170100 throughout the day, even with medication. There are times it might drop to 13070, but it doesn't last. We've had all these tests done, like Thyrocare X, ECG, and ECO, and everything comes back normal. What's puzzling and worrying is that she's very sensitive to light and sound, her heartbeat increases when exposed to these, especially in the evening. Plus, she feels like her heart skips a beat when there's noise. She's been eating really light and avoiding spicy food, following her angiography back in 2013 where the doctor recommended sticking to medication. I'm really trying to understand why these symptoms are persisting now and what steps we should take next. Any insights?
It seems like your mother is experiencing uncontrolled high blood pressure despite taking Arkamin and Ecosprin. Given her symptoms of sensitivity to light and sound, along with the fluctuating blood pressure readings, it is important to address this issue promptly. Considering her history of cardiac issues, it is crucial to optimize her blood pressure control. I would recommend adding a medication like Telma 40mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure more effectively. Additionally, since she is experiencing acidity, she can continue taking Nexpro 40 for that. In order to address her sensitivity to light and sound, it may be beneficial to consult with an ophthalmologist and an ENT specialist to rule out any underlying issues. It is also important to continue monitoring her blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in regular physical activity. Overall, the addition of Telma 40mg to her current medication regimen may help better control her blood pressure and alleviate some of her symptoms. Regular follow-up with her healthcare provider is essential to monitor her progress.
