View allI'm curious about the normal size of the abdominal aorta since my recent echocardiography showed my aorta measures 3 cm. The abdominal ultrasound indicated it was normal. Should I be concerned about this size?
The normal size of the abdominal aorta is typically less than 3 cm in diameter. Since your aorta size is 3cm, it is at the upper limit of normal. It is important to monitor this closely to ensure it does not increase in size. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes.

I'm really worried about my father. He had a couple of small attacks, and then a major one, and we had to move him from Dhanbad to a Kolkata hospital. They did an angioplasty on the 28th, he had a 90% blockage in his main vessel and they put in a stent. He was discharged on the 1st, but the next day he was back in the hospital because water filled up near his lungs and heart, and he couldnt breathe. He was in CCU for about seven days and finally got out on the 13th of December. Recently, his BNP levels were 956, potassium 2.4, and serum creatinine 1.84, so the doctor switched his medication around. Now he's on concor 1.25 mg, prax 10 mg, eptus 50 mg, ivabrad 5 mg, ecosprin 75 mg, aztor 10 mg, potklor, and febutaz 40 mg since his uric acid was high. But since yesterday, he's having trouble breathing and can't sleep at night. What should we do?

I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?
From the symptoms you have described, along with your normal TMT, ECHO, and ECG results, it is important to consider other possible causes for your chest pain, left hand pain, headache, and dizziness. Given your elevated blood pressure readings, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to hypertension. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I suggest starting with an antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and potentially alleviate your symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Remember to also follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and prioritize regular physical activity to improve your overall cardiovascular health.
