My 60-year-old mom has a blockage in her main heart artery 80% blocked. We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?

View allI'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090* This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is: - Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg - Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases. *Regular Body Pain* To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups: 1. *Complete Blood Count (CBC)*: To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions. 2. *Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)*: To measure inflammation in the body. 3. *C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test*: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions. 4. *Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs)*: To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain. 5. *Vitamin D levels*: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain. 6. *Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound)*: To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

I'm wondering if nebicard 2.5 could cause erectile dysfunction or maybe even affect sperm quality. I've heard that beta blockers might lead to ED, so I'm a bit worried. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm 26 and I've been having anxiety symptoms. A couple of months ago, I experienced episodes of sinus tachycardia, and the ECG showed sinus tachycardia with ST and T wave depression in leads II, III, and AVF. I've had more ECGs since then with similar results, but my 2D echo was normal. My doctor suggested a TMT, which returned borderline positive with a low likelihood of significant CAD. During the TMT, METS was 8.8, BP was 15080, and the max heart rate was 187. I didn't feel any chest pain during the exercise. Do you think an angiogram is necessary, and what could be causing those ST and T wave changes?
Angiogram is needed any heart blocks..
