I had an angioplasty on February 14th, and they did it through my right arm. It's still hurting, and I can't stretch it properly. I've taken painkillers, but the pain just wont go away. What can I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Its common to experience pain and discomfort in the arm after an angioplasty, especially if the procedure was done through the arm. I recommend following up with your doctor to ensure there are no complications. In the meantime, gentle stretching and using a warm compress might help ease the pain.

View allI'm currently taking Losanorm 25mg for hypertension. What situations warrant an increase in dosage? Could you please provide guidance on this?
The usual starting dose of Losanorm for hypertension is 25mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg once daily. High doses of Losanorm may be required for severe cases of hypertension or if lower doses are not effective in controlling blood pressure. However, the specific conditions for high doses of Losanorm should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual medical history and response to the medication.

How does diabetes increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke?
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease/ stroke such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

I'm having this chest pain since the afternoon and it's really close to my heart. The pain isn't going away and I'm a bit worried it might be a heart attack. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
Chest pain can be a serious symptom and should not be ignored. If you are experiencing continuous chest pain near your heart, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a potential heart attack. Please consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
