Doctors are suggesting surgery but I'm unsure about the pros and cons. What if bleeding happens again after surgery because of the actilyse injection? What could be the consequences? Are there other options besides surgery, and can this issue be fixed without it? I have an ICD in my heart from an operation three years ago, and now there's a clot again.

Discussing alternatives like anticoagulation adjustments or IVC filters with a cardiologist is key before considering surgery again.

Question

I'm a bit anxious right now. I usually take my Nubeta 2.5 at around 11am every day, but I got confused and took it again at midnight thinking it was my multivitamin. My blood pressure was around 14090 before using Nubeta. I'm worried about what kind of side effects I might experience because of this. Can you help me understand what to expect and if I should do anything specific?

Question

I've been experiencing this sudden sharp pain in the center of my chest for a while now, actually since middle school, about 3 to 4 years ago. Initially, it took me by surprise, but I brushed it off. It happens like 2 to 3 times a month, and I've just kind of lived with it. The thing is, it happens randomlywhether I'm just walking or chilling watching TV. What really caught my attention was that a few days ago, the pain lasted much longer than usual. It's typically 15-20 seconds, but this time, it dragged on for a solid 2-3 minutes. That got me a bit worried. I havent told my parents yet because I feel okay now, but could it be something serious that I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what this chest pain might be would really help.
