It's understandable to want to explore all options before considering angioplasty, especially when dealing with a heart block and a blocked artery. Angioplasty is a procedure that can help improve blood flow to the heart by opening blocked or narrowed arteries. However, it's not always the first, or even the best, choice, and there are other approaches that can be tried

Question

Why does my chest feel tight and heavy?

Question

I've noticed that my resting pulse rate usually hovers around 90, although it can dip slightly below that sometimes. Is this normal for me? Also, I've observed that my pulse rate spikes to around 120 after I eat and take a light walk, like after lunch. Is this something I should be concerned about? Just a month ago, I went for a health check-up, and both the ECG and 2D echo turned out normal. I'd love to get your thoughts on this.
