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.

View allI'm experiencing this weird issue where my heart starts to palpitate really fast, and every time I take a breath, it feels like I can actually feel the blood pumping. Then, out of nowhere, I'll get a nosebleed. When this happens, I'm scared to do anything physically demanding because I'm worried the bleeding might get worse. Could you let me know which kind of doctor I should see about this?

I'm a bit worried because I have diabetes and this morning I felt a slight pain on the left side of my chest. I went to the hospital, and they did an ECG. The report said "Borderline," but it was unconfirmed. The doctor told me it's not a huge problem but that I need to watch my diet and keep tabs on my heart health. I'm a little confused and can't help but worry about what all this means. Could you help me understand? Ive been losing sleep over this.

I'm a bit concerned about my health and would really appreciate some advice. Back in May 2017, I had an angioplasty and have been keeping up with my meds and exercises since then. Currently, I'm on cilacar for my blood pressure and crevast 7510. I used to take ecosprin 7520, but my ENT doctor suggested that it could have been causing my nasal block and sinus issues. I've had two nasal surgeries to remove polyps, and I've been on crevast for the past month. So, I'm just wondering how often I should be getting my ECG, treadmill, echo, and other tests done. I've been doing lab tests every three months and everything's come back normal. Any guidance on this would be really helpful.
it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Since you have already been taking lab tests once every three months and they have been normal, it is recommended to continue with this frequency for now. Additionally, it is advisable to undergo an ECG, treadmill test, and echo once every 6-12 months to assess your heart function and overall cardiovascular health. However, the frequency of these tests may vary based on your individual health condition and any specific recommendations from your cardiologist.
