View allI'm wondering if having anxiety could affect how a procedure like angioplasty and stent placement goes. Since you're awake during it, could things like a fast pulse or high blood pressure from anxiety mess with the process? Is there any medication given to help calm you down?
Anxiety can indeed affect the angioplasty and stent placement procedure, as it can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure which may impact the procedure. To help relax the patient and manage anxiety during the procedure, medications such as Midazolam or Diazepam may be given. These medications can help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and minimize any potential impact of anxiety on the procedure.

I'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?
Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..

I'm a bit concerned about my dad, who's 72. His blood pressure is 100 over 60, and while he seems healthy and manages to walk around 3 to 4 kilometers each day, I'm wondering if there's anything I should be worried about or keep an eye on. Could you let me know if this needs any special attention?
Since your father is otherwise healthy and active, there may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly. To help raise his blood pressure, increasing his salt and fluid intake can be beneficial. Encouraging him to drink more water and consume salty foods in moderation can help elevate his blood pressure. In some cases, compression stockings can also be helpful. If his low blood pressure persists or if he experiences symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
