Question

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?

Question

Should I consider getting a CT angiogram even though my ECG, ECHO, TMT, and chest X-ray have all come back normal? I'm experiencing some chest tightness and occasional shortness of breath, though its just for a moment. My cholesterol levels are a bit high, with LDL at 154 and HDL at 36. I weigh 108 kg, and my blood pressure is at 13075. My dad had bypass surgery back in 2018, so I'm wondering if having a CT angiogram is something I should look into given my symptoms and family history.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG report shows something called right axis deviation. But, I have normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and my heart rate is usually under 80. Is this something I should be worried about?

Question

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've been having for the last eight months. Sometimes it's sharp and hits right in the center or other areas of my chest, and even my breast. I've also got this pain on the left side of my chest that spreads to my upper back on the same side. I had an ECG and a 2D echo done about five months ago, and everything looked normal then. But this pain really scares me, and I'm not sure what my next steps should be or which specialist I should see. My Spo2 levels are between 94 and 97, and my resting pulse is around 53 to 60 in the early mornings. Could you help point me in the right direction?
