My dad has a heart problem, and the angiography report shows his left and right arteries are about 70% blocked. I'm really worried and trying to figure out what's best for him. Should he go for angioplasty or a bypass surgery? What would you suggest?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In the case of your father with 70% blockage in both the left and right arteries, the best treatment option would be bypass surgery. Bypass surgery is recommended for patients with severe blockages in multiple arteries. It involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a blood vessel graft. This procedure can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of a heart attack. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will be prescribed by the treating doctor.

View allI'm a bit worried about what my latest test results mean. It mentions sinus bradycardia with frequent PVCs, but no AV block or ischemic period. Also, my lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles all came back normal. I've been taking Cordarone 100. Could you explain what all this means for my health, and if there's anything specific I should be doing or watching out for?
SINUS bradycardia with frequent PVC can be managed with medication. Since you are already taking Cordarone 100, which contains Amiodarone, it is likely being used to treat the frequent PVCs. In addition to Cordarone, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the PVCs. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg twice daily. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the dosage if needed.

I'm reaching out because I've been on medication for hypertension for a couple of years now, specifically taking Losartana 50 mg each night before I sleep. During the day, my blood pressure usually stays around 13585. I've heard from several people that apple cider vinegar might help to manage my blood pressure better and maybe even help me reduce my dependency on the medicine. I don't have a family history of hypertension, but right now, I'm at 92 kg, 5'9", and 32 years old. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to try apple cider vinegar for my situation?
Apple cider vinegar may have some benefits in helping to control blood pressure, but it is not a substitute for prescribed medication. It is always important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan. In your case, since your blood pressure is still not within the desired range during the day, it would be best to continue taking LOSARTAN-A 50 Mg as prescribed. However, you can also incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet in moderation for its potential health benefits. It is recommended to dilute it in water and consume it before meals.
