I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?

View allI've had a coronary angiogram back in 2011, and my doctor advised me to take aspirin for the rest of my life. I'm a bit concerned and just want to know if this is really safe. Also, can you tell me what side effects I might experience? And is it okay to take aspirin during my monthly periods?
Aspirin is commonly prescribed for long-term use in patients with a history of coronary artery disease. It helps to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The common side effects of aspirin include stomach irritation, ulcers, and increased risk of bleeding. It is generally safe to take aspirin during monthly periods, but it is always recommended to consult with your doctor for personalized advice. The recommended dosage for aspirin for heart health is usually low dose, around 75-100mg per day. Please follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of taking aspirin.

I'm a bit confused about something in my recent medical results. My ECHO came back showing normal pulmonary arteries, but I've been told I might have mild PHT. How is it possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension if the echo indicates the arteries are fine? What should I make of this?
Yes, it is possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) even when the ECHO shows that the pulmonary arteries are normal. In such cases, treatment may involve medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. The dosage and duration of treatment would depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
do one chest xray
