My dad had a major heart attack a couple of months ago, and the angiography showed some serious stuff. It mentioned a 90% blockage in the mid LAD and another in the early OM1, plus an 80% blockage in OM2. They also did a PTCA with DES on the LAD shortly after the attack. I'm really worried and wondering what should we do next?

I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

MRI of the left arm and ortho opinion is advised
