I'm worried because I recently had a formal health check-up, and my blood pressure was 17090. I've started taking Amlodipine 5 mg once a day, but after three days, I haven't noticed any major improvement. What should I do?

View allI'm really concerned about this recurring middle chest pain I've been experiencing. I had a coronary angiogram done a while back on March 14, 2014, and everything showed normal coronaries, except for this myocardial bridging of the LAD. Can you help me understand what this means? Is this related to my chest pain, and should I be worried about it? Also, is there a validity period for the angiogram results, or is it something I should get checked again after a certain time?
The validity of your coronary angiogram performed on 14.3.14, which showed normal coronary arteries and myocardial bridging of the LAD, can diminish over time due to factors such as the progression of coronary artery disease, changes in symptoms, and continued risk factors like smoking or high blood pressure. Since the angiogram only provides a snapshot in time, it's important to regularly monitor your heart health, especially if you experience new or worsening chest pain. For the most accurate and up-to-date assessment, please consult your cardiologist, who may recommend repeat testing or other diagnostic procedures based on your current condition. Regular follow-ups are crucial to ensure your heart health is effectively managed.

My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?
yes angiolasty is recommended to your father as there triple vessel disease and three arteries are blocked .

I'm feeling pretty anxious because my ECG report showed T wave inversion, but the TMT test came back normal. I've attached both reports. Since finding out about the T wave inversion, I've started experiencing some chest pressure and slight pain, which I didn't feel before. I'm really concerned whether this could be something serious or if it's just stress-related. Any insight on why this might be happening?
T wave inversion on ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if the TMT test is normal. However, since you are experiencing chest pressure and slight pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause. In this case, considering your symptoms, it would be advisable to start medication to relieve chest pressure and pain. you can take Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day to reduce any acid-related symptoms that may be causing chest discomfort. It is also important to manage stress through relaxation techniques and regular exercise. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.
