Question

My dad had bypass surgery back in 2000 and has been on meds since then. He's 60 now and after a recent health check, the doctor said his heart is working at 30% and recommended an angio. What exactly happens during an angio and what should we do next to improve his health?

An angio (angiography) is a procedure using X-rays to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or narrowing. To improve his health, your dad should focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking if he smokes. He should also continue taking his prescribed medications as directed.

Question

I've been having this weird pain and heaviness in my lower chest whenever Im alone, like when Im outside by myself or just at home. It starts after a while, and then I get this mild shortness of breath, and my pulse goes up to like 105. I had an X-ray, CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, and 2D echo, but they all came back normal. Also, when I lie down, my feet feel really heavy. Any idea what's going on?
