Question 1

My mom was diagnosed with chest pain on December 7, 2018. She's in the hospital, and the doctor did an angiography and is suggesting a bypass. I'm really worried and just want to know if the bypass is absolutely necessary and how long we can safely delay it. She's had blood pressure for about 10 years and diabetes for the last 4 years. Could you please advise?

Accepted Answer

"Hi Nirav, based on the information provided, if your mother has been diagnosed with chest pain and the doctor has recommended bypass surgery after performing Angiography, it is likely that the bypass surgery is necessary to improve blood flow to the heart. Given her history of high blood pressure and diabetes, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendation in a timely manner to prevent any further complications. I would recommend discussing any concerns or questions about the timing of the bypass surgery with the treating physician to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, it is important for your mother to continue taking her prescribed medications for blood pressure and diabetes as directed. For chest pain relief, she can take medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to follow the doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications. Regular follow-up appointments with the doctor are also essential to monitor her condition and make any necessary adjustments to her treatment plan. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Take care."

Question 2

I'm dealing with high cholesterol and recently I've felt some pain in my left chest. I'm pretty worried about what this might mean. Should I be doing something specific or is there anything you recommend I look into?

Accepted Answer

It is important to manage your high cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart-related issues. You can start by taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, if you are experiencing chest pain, you can take Aspirin at a dosage of 81mg daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. However, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe or persistent chest pain.
