I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG report. It showed a result of 800 sinus rhythm and 733 suspect inferior myocardial infarction. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean and how serious this might be? Do I need to take immediate action or get more tests done?

View allI had an angiography a couple of months ago, and it showed there's about a 60-70% blockage in a main artery. I've been on oral medication for it, but I'm curiousare there other ways to check how much blockage is still there or if there's been any improvement since I started the meds? Would love to get some advice.
Angiography is a common procedure used to diagnose blockages in arteries. To check the current level of blockage and monitor improvements during treatment, a follow-up angiography can be performed. This will allow the doctors to visually assess the blockage and determine if there have been any improvements with the oral medications. One commonly used oral medication for treating blockages in arteries is Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-80 mg per day, depending on the severity of the condition. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

I've been getting some pain on both sides of my chest from time to time, and I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I had a chest X-ray recently and it came back normal, but can an X-ray really tell if there's something wrong with my heart or lungs? Would it show everything that's important, or should I be looking into other tests or something?
Chest x-rays are primarily used to visualize the lungs and surrounding structures, so they may not always detect heart problems. Since your chest x-ray came out normal, it is unlikely that there are any significant issues with your lungs. However, if you are experiencing chest pain on the right or left side, it is important to consider other factors such as muscle strain, rib issues, or even potential heart problems. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly an electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess your heart's function. If the pain persists, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions.
