I've been wondering about how long it might take for the heart to heal after getting a stent in the main artery at age 48. If the person isnt an alcoholic or diabetic, follows a vegetarian diet, eats very little fast food, but does consume dairy products like curd, malai, and cream, would this kind of lifestyle impact their recovery time? I'm just trying to figure out what factors might affect the healing process.

For most people, stent implantation recovery is fairly quick, with initial healing taking about 4 to 6 weeks and full recovery occurring over the course of 3 to 6 months. Since the person in question has a generally healthy lifestyle and no major risk factors, their recovery should be smooth, but they will still need to follow their cardiologists advice regarding diet, exercise, and medication.
Its essential to maintain a healthy diet, continue taking prescribed medications, and regularly follow up with the cardiologist. The doctor will provide personalized advice on when to resume more intense activities, based on progress.

View allmy cardiologist said my ekg showed a borderline ecg when i went for bariatric surgery clearance - what does that actually mean and is it something to worry about
A "borderline ECG" means that the results are not entirely normal but also not clearly abnormal. It may reflect minor, nonspecific changes that aren’t necessarily serious. In the context of surgery clearance, your cardiologist likely didn’t find anything concerning enough to delay the procedure but may want to monitor your heart health. It’s best to follow up if you develop symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?
It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.
