My dad has two arteries blocked around 70% according to his angiography report left and right. I'm really confused about whether angioplasty or bypass surgery would be better for him. What would you recommend based on his condition?

I'm having this chest pain thats been bothering me for a few weeks now. It's mostly in the center but kinda leans more to the left side. It feels like a dull ache, quite like back pain, but its on the outer wall of the chest. I already had an ECG, and it came back normal, so my doctor thinks it might just be a muscle strain. But how can I really know for sure it's muscle strain and not something more serious?

It is muscle sore , take anti inflammatory tablets like aceclofenaca . You will be fine

I've noticed that almost every time I shout or scream while at church, I start feeling really lightheaded and dizzy, almost like I might pass out. It's like I have to close my eyes and hold onto something just to stay steady. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of something more? What's going on with my body when this happens?

The symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, and feeling like passing out after shouting or screaming at church may be related to a vasovagal response, a common condition where the nervous system overreacts to stress or excitement, causing a temporary drop in blood pressure and heart rate, and it's recommended to consult a md medicine to rule out other potential causes, such as dehydration, anxiety, or underlying heart conditions.
