View allI'm thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?
EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.

I've been experiencing this really weird thing where I suddenly get dizzy and faint after using the bathroom. I woke up this last time with a hurt nose, and it's actually the third time it's happened over the past five years. The first two times, I had a fever, so I figured that was the cause, but this time I'm not sick. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but no one seems to figure it out. They keep asking if I have issues with my BP or if I'm feeling hot. I dont have any of these problems normally, so Im really puzzled. Could there be something else going on that were missing?
This episode of dizziness and fainting could be related to a condition called vasovagal syncope, which can be triggered by various factors such as urination. To help prevent these episodes, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake to maintain blood pressure. Additionally, you can use medications like Fludrocortisone (brand name Florinef) at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg per day to help increase blood volume and prevent episodes of fainting. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if this medication is suitable for you.

I'm wondering about continuing with corbis bisoprolol 5 mg, which I've been taking for a decade now. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse is hanging around 60. I'm aware that bisoprolol can lower heart rate, and even though I'm not experiencing any issues, I'm curious whether I should consult a doctor about switching medications because of the lower pulse rate. How long is it generally okay to stay on corbis if I'm not having any problems?
