My aunt had a heart attack last month and the doctor recommended bypass surgery. I've attached her angiography report could you advise whether bypass or angioplasty would be the better option for her?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Bypass surgery may be considered as the better option for surgery in some cases where the arteries of the heart may be clogged in multiple areas or when the blockage is in the main coronary artery in the left portion of the heart.

Can you help me understand if it's normal for me to actually see my chest and stomach move with my heartbeat? I've never noticed this before and it's kind of freaking me out. I've had an ECG and my heart rate checked, and they were both normal. What's going on here?
It is normal to see some movement in the chest and stomach with each heartbeat, especially in individuals with a thinner body build. This is known as the cardiac impulse. Since your ECG is normal and heart rate is also normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue to monitor any changes in your symptoms.

I'm really worried because my echo showed mild TR, and I've been stressed ever since. Googling it made things worse, and now it's all I can think about. Lately, I have this constant chest pain and am terrified of a heart attack. It's making my life unbearable. What should I do?
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and stress related to your health concerns. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend starting with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and a healthy diet. Additionally, you can take medication such as anxiolytics like Xanax (alprazolam) 0.25mg to help with your anxiety symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
