I'm wondering if having anxiety could affect how a procedure like angioplasty and stent placement goes. Since you're awake during it, could things like a fast pulse or high blood pressure from anxiety mess with the process? Is there any medication given to help calm you down?

Anxiety can indeed affect the angioplasty and stent placement procedure, as it can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure which may impact the procedure. To help relax the patient and manage anxiety during the procedure, medications such as Midazolam or Diazepam may be given. These medications can help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and minimize any potential impact of anxiety on the procedure.

I've been experiencing some chest pain in the center of my chest after I eat. It's been happening for the past couple of days, and the pain comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes, the pain is in my heart and left chest, and it's really bothering me. I also feel it a lot in the right chest, in the middle of the two chests. I can't easily visit a clinic because it's far away and with corona, I'm trying to stay safe. Is there any medicine you can suggest that I can get from a medical shop nearby? I'm really worried and would appreciate your help.
