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 confused and could use some advice. Are Atchol 20 and Lipicard AV the same thing or do they have different functions? I've been on Lipicard AV for 7 months and I'm wondering if I can switch to Atchol 20 now. Can you help me out?

both are same

I'm really worried because I've been having this right-sided chest pain in the upper part for the last few days. It's been getting worse after I eat, and once in a while, I even feel it in my arms. Do you think this could be a heart-related issue, or could it be something else?

It is important to rule out any heart-related issues, especially given the symptoms of chest pain on the right side that worsens after meals and radiates to the arms. This could potentially be a sign of angina or a heart attack. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related symptoms.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?

Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.
