My mom has an artery blockage of 60-70% in just one artery. The doctor mentioned using a stent. Are there other treatments for her heart besides a stent?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 60-70% artery blockage, the placement of a stent is a common and effective treatment option. However, depending on the specific circumstances and location of the blockage, your mother's doctor may consider other alternatives such as medication therapy or coronary artery bypass surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the most appropriate treatment plan.

View allI'm having a bit of a concern with my blood pressure. It was usually around 135 over 95 with my automatic blood pressure machine, so I started taking Rauwolfia Q homeopathy medicine, about 8 drops twice a day. Now my BP has dropped to below normal levels, and even though I stopped the medicine three days ago, it's still low. Lately, I've been feeling dizzy and a bit shaky sometimes. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
It seems like your blood pressure is still a bit on the lower side after stopping the medicine. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. For now, try staying hydrated, having small, frequent meals, and avoiding sudden position changes. If the vertigo and shakiness persist, it's best to consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm 25 and just got my 2D echo mvp report. It says mvp grade I trivial MR and normal LV function. Should I be concerned about anything here? What exactly does this mean for my heart health, and do I need to take any action or follow-ups?
Your 2D echo report shows Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) with trivial Mitral Regurgitation (MR) and normal Left Ventricular (LV) function. Since you are 25 years old, it is important to monitor this condition regularly. You can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help manage symptoms and prevent complications associated with MVP.

I've been getting these sudden chest pains, and they sorta feel like they're in my heart. It happens randomly, not every day, and only lasts a few minutes before it goes away. It's been going on for a couple of years now, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Could this be something serious?
This type of chest pain could be related to a condition called angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg during the chest pain episode. Also, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
