My brother had angioplasty about a month ago, and lately, he's been experiencing frequent nosebleeds. It's worrying because whenever he sneezes or coughs, blood comes out of his nose and mouth. He's currently taking blood thinners and anticoagulant medicines for blood pressure. Is this a normal reaction, or should we be concerned?

I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. In March, my cardiologist recommended a 2D echo and TMT test. I've started taking Prolomet R50 and Deplatt A 75 as prescribed. I'm just wondering, does it seem like we're on the right track with the treatment plan?

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate during workoutsit climbs over 200 and then drops quickly. My resting heart rate hangs around 75-80. Could this be a sign of something serious?

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?
