I'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?

I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

My dad's 76 and a few years back he was diagnosed with triple vessel coronary artery disease and lmca disease. Three years ago, he had an angioplasty and got a stent put in for one of his major artery blocks. The cardiologist suggested we manage the two other 100% blocks with medical management instead of more procedures because of some complications. Small hitch though, post-angioplasty, his kidneys were affected and his creatine level hit 1.6. He's been maintaining it between 1.6 to 1.8 with a strict diet for almost three years now. Recently, his cardiologist changed up his meds to boost his heart function and put him on Isolazine. Now, his blood pressures gone up and one of his legs is swelling. I'm stuck wondering if its fluid retention but is it from his heart or his kidneys acting up? Should we be worried about Isolazine for his kidney health? Hes been on it for around four months. Could it be related? What's your take on this?
Isolazine is not recommended for patients with kidney issues, as it can potentially worsen kidney function and cause fluid retention, which may present as leg swelling. It is advisable to stop Isolazine and consult with the cardiologist for an alternative medication that is safer for kidney function. In the meantime, it is important to monitor his blood pressure closely and manage any fluid retention symptoms.
