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.

I'm a bit worried after my recent ECG showed a sinus rhythm with an inverted T wave. What could that mean, and how might it affect my heart health?
The presence of an inverted T wave on an ECG showing sinus rhythm can indicate various underlying issues. In some cases, it may be a normal variant, but it can also be a sign of cardiac ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other cardiac conditions. To address this issue, it is important to determine the underlying cause. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions, such as correcting electrolyte imbalances or addressing coronary artery disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if Preva and Ecosprin AV are actually the same thing or if they're different medications. I'm also a bit concerned about the side effects. Does one have more side effects than the other? Could you help me understand this better?
Both Preva and Ecosprin AV are different medications with different active ingredients and mechanisms of action. Preva contains the active ingredient Clopidogrel, while Ecosprin AV contains a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin. In terms of side effects, both medications can cause side effects, but the specific side effects and their likelihood can vary from person to person. Common side effects of Clopidogrel (Preva) include bleeding, bruising, and stomach upset. On the other hand, common side effects of Aspirin and Atorvastatin (Ecosprin AV) include stomach upset, muscle pain, and liver enzyme abnormalities. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine which medication is more suitable for you based on your individual medical history and risk factors.
