Hey, I went to the hospital today because I've been having really bad chest pain from my GERD. They gave me a Pan injection, but the pain hasnt gone away. The doctor said I should get an ECG done and talk to a cardiologist. But I couldnt see one because of some financial issues, so I had to go home instead. Can someone please look at my ECG report and let me know if everything seems alright or if there's something wrong?

If you are experiencing severe chest pain due to GERD, you can try taking Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can take Antacid syrup like Gelusil after meals for immediate relief from acidity. Make sure to follow up with a cardiologist as advised by your doctor for further evaluation of your chest pain.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 and had angioplasty done at Ruby Hospital in Pune about a year ago, where they put in two stents. Now, we're back to the drawing board with blockages in two of his arteries again, and the doctor is suggesting another angioplasty. I'm really concerned and confused about whether this is the best option for him right now. Could you give me some clarity or advice on what steps we should consider?
The right diagnosis for your father would be Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with restenosis of the stents. The recommended treatment in this case would be to undergo another angioplasty procedure to address the blockages in the two arteries. The doctor may also consider using medications such as dual antiplatelet therapy (e.g. Clopidogrel) and statins (e.g. Atorvastatin) to help prevent further blockages and manage his condition.

My dad just got a health check-up, and his TMT test came out positive. The doctor suggested we go for an angiogram, and I'm curious if we're on the right path here. Is there a possibility that the angiogram might show no blockages at all? Also, are there any risks we should be aware of when getting an angiogram?
Yes, you're on the right track. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) suggests that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart, and an angiogram is a standard follow-up to check for any blockages. It is possible that an angiogram might show no significant blockages; sometimes TMT results are positive due to other factors. Angiograms are generally safe, but they do carry minimal risks, such as bleeding, infection, or, rarely, an allergic reaction to the dye used.

My father has 4 major blocks in his heart 3 are over 70% and one is 30%. I've attached the report for reference. The doctor recommended bypass surgery, but I'm wondering why angioplasty isn't an option here. Can you explain the reasoning behind this?
Is your father a diabetic patient? How is his physical built - thin, average, obese? Otherwise a active person or not?
