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.

View allI've been experiencing this tightness in my chest whenever I do surya namaskaram and, for the past two days, I've been having frequent burping and indigestion. Sometimes when I breathe, there's this pain on the left side of my chest. A few months back, I had an ECG done, and the doctor said it was normal. I've been doing yoga for a month now, and I'm just wondering if this is something serious? How do you think it can be treated?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can cause chest tightness, frequent burping, indigestion, and chest pain. It is good that your ECG was normal, but it is still important to address your symptoms. You can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the indigestion and chest pain. Additionally, you can take medications like omeprazole (Prilosec) or ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. It is also helpful to avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been really stressed about my heart health lately. I had a 2D echo done back in November, and I'm feeling super anxious about it again. I keep noticing my pulse everywhere I put my hand on my body, and it's freaking me out a bit. How long should I wait before getting another 2D echo to make sure everything's okay?
based on your symptoms and history of severe heart anxiety, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation. However, typically, if there are no significant changes in your symptoms, a follow-up 2D echo can be done after 1 year from your last test. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help with your heart anxiety symptoms.
