I'm wondering if it's normal to have a bit of water in the lungs and a dry cough three months after undergoing angioplasty for coronary artery disease. Could it actually take the heart around six months to fully recover after getting a stent placed? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

My dad, who's 69, had some pretty serious chest pain last week. An ECG showed something wasn't right and his angiography results mentioned artery blockages at 90%, 80%, and 70%. He's now on medication, but I'm really concerned. What does this all mean for his health, and are there other treatments we should consider to address these blockages?

It sounds like your father is experiencing significant heart issues with the reported artery blockages. To help manage the condition and prevent further complications, it is crucial for him to continue with the prescribed medications. One common medication that is often used in such cases is Atorvastatin, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related events. Additionally, medications like Aspirin can be beneficial in preventing blood clots and improving blood flow through the blocked arteries. It is important for your father to follow the dosage instructions provided by his healthcare provider and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress. In some cases, additional interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be recommended. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are also essential in managing his condition.

I've been having mild chest pain continuously for about 23 hours, and it's the first time I've felt anything like this. I went to the hospital and got an ECG done, which came back as a Borderline ECG, and I've attached the report. The Troponin I test result was 0.01 ngml. My heartbeat seems to be averaging around 95-110 bpm. Should I be worried about this?

It is important to address the possibility of a cardiac issue. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin to help prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you should take Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart complications. It is also advisable to take Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. These medications will help manage your condition and reduce the risk of any potential heart problems. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Take care."
