My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?

View allI've recently had a CT angiogram done and I'm a bit worried. Are there any side effects I should be aware of related to the heart? Could you provide some guidance on what to expect afterward? I'm open to any advice you might have.
CT angiograms are generally safe procedures with minimal side effects. However, some potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the contrast dye used, kidney problems in patients with pre-existing kidney issues, and radiation exposure. It is important to stay hydrated after the procedure to help flush the contrast dye out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe allergic reactions, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm currently taking Clopitab and was recently prescribed Amlodipine or Cilnidipine. I've heard that mixing certain medications can sometimes affect how well they work. So, I'm worried if it's okay to take these together? Like, would it make Clopitab less effective? Should I be concerned about this interaction?
Yes, there is a potential interaction between clopitab and amlodipinecilnidipine. Amlodipinecilnidipine may increase the effects of clopitab, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. It is important to monitor for signs of bleeding such as easy bruising or unusual bleeding. It is advisable to use these medications together with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
