I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG is coming back normal, but I'm still feeling pain in my left arm and shoulder. Last Tuesday, my blood pressure was at 160, and now it's around 11064. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allMy aunt has a heart problem and doctors recommended a heart valve replacement, including Dr Anil Bhan last year. We couldn't afford it then, but now she's admitted at SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar and her condition is serious. She has young daughters, so we really need to figure this out. Can you tell me the approximate cost for the valve replacement surgery, including hospital stay and medicines? We need to arrange funds quickly to save her life.
Heart has 4 valves in all . I would need to see a 2 D Echo and then decide what surgery and then predict appropriate cost

I'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His cholesterol is also 227 with an LDL of 148. Should he think about starting ecosprin 75mg a week before he gets vaccinated and keep taking it for a few weeks after? I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything we can to avoid any risks related to the vaccine. What do you suggest?
Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.
