View allI've recently had an angioplasty to clear a blockage in my main valve. It's been three days now, and I've started feeling some pain in my left shoulder after sitting for a few hours. I haven't been lifting any heavy objects or anything like that. Is this something related to my heart? Should I be worried? Please let me know what's going on.
Just with a complaint of shoulder pain we cant rule out heart related issues visit your physician for evaluation

I'm really worried about my heart condition. The doctor mentioned that my left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel has a 70% blockage in the proximal region. The mid and distal parts of the LAD are normal, but there's an ostial plaque in D1, while D2 is normal. They've suggested angioplasty, and I'm unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some advice or explain this a bit more? I'm feeling anxious about the whole situation.
"Based on your condition of Left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel Proximal lad 70% present with Mid and distal lad normal and D1-ostial plaque, the recommended treatment is angioplasty. You can use antiplatelet medications such as Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily along with Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots. Additionally, Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further plaque buildup. Follow your doctor's advice for the dosage and duration of these medications."
