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 a 37-year-old male who has been taking Asomex 2.5 mg for my high blood pressure, but I'm out of it now since I'm in Qatar and can't find it here. A doctor here prescribed me Norvasc 5 mg instead. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask if it's safe for me to switch to this medication. Can you give me some advice?

Yes, Norvasc 5 MG is safe for you to take as a substitute for Asomex 2.5 mg. Both medications contain the same active ingredient, Amlodipine, which is used to treat high blood pressure. The recommended dosage of Norvasc 5 MG for hypertension is usually 5-10 mg once daily. Please follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and administration of Norvasc 5 MG for your high blood pressure.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

2D ECHO report normal--Normal LVRV Systolic function,no pericardial effusion, no IVC plethora,ascending aort dilated,mild mitral valve prolapse , no mitral regurgitation, normal LV function,,, tmt normal report---thread mill sress test--Less than 5 METS is poor, 5-8 METS is fair ,,9-11 METS is good,, 12 METS is excellent .
