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?

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.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 58 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now and taking Tamson 40 for the past 8 years. In addition to that, for the last 3 years, she's been on Atorfit CV 10 for some heart problems. The doctor recommended she stay on Atorfit CV 10 for life, but I'm worried. Is taking this medicine for life safe for her? Shes still active and does all our housework daily. Would love some guidance on this!

Is atrial flutter something that can actually be cured? Is catheter ablation the best solution for someone like me? I'm worried because I had mitral valve replacement surgery about six months ago and was doing fine until I got this bad cough. Suddenly, my heart rate shot up to 150 and it just won't come down. Now I've got a clot and I'm on blood thinners. Is there any hope for me or is this really serious?
Atrial flutter can be managed effectively with treatments such as catheter ablation. Catheter ablation is considered one of the best solutions for atrial flutter, especially when medications are not effective or not well tolerated. Atrial flutter may not go away on its own and often requires intervention. Given your history of MVR and the development of a high heart rate along with a clot, it is important to continue with the thinners as prescribed to prevent further complications. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is hope for you, and the outcome will depend on various factors including the underlying cause of the atrial flutter, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. It is important to stay proactive in managing your condition and follow your healthcare provider's recommendations closely.
