My uncle has been advised to undergo MICS technique heart surgery for his heart blockages by Dr Sathyaki Nambala at Apollo Bangalore. He's a bit worried since it's a newer technique and there aren't many reviews online. Is MICS safe compared to conventional heart surgery? What are the risks or specific concerns he should know about before deciding? Would you recommend going ahead with MICS or sticking to the traditional method?

View allCan cervical or anxiety be causing my chest pain? It's been 5 months and although my ECG and X-ray were fine, the chest pain just won't go away. Could it still be related to my heart?
Cervical issues and anxiety can indeed cause chest pain, especially if all cardiac tests like ECG and X-ray have come back normal. The persistent chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. To help alleviate the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) as needed for pain and muscle relaxation. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Ive been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

My dad had a major heart attack a couple of months ago, and the angiography showed some serious stuff. It mentioned a 90% blockage in the mid LAD and another in the early OM1, plus an 80% blockage in OM2. They also did a PTCA with DES on the LAD shortly after the attack. I'm really worried and wondering what should we do next?
