I'm dealing with pectus excavatum and it's been really bothering me. It's not just that it's affecting how I look, but I'm also noticing it's impacting my muscle tone and I'm having some issues with my pulmonary function. I'm curious if there's a way to address this without going through surgery. Would love some advice on what might help!

View allI'm really concerned about my dad, who needs to get an angiography. He's got high blood pressure and diabetes, and he's already really anxious about the test. I'm worried about how painful the procedure might be for him, and if getting scared during the test could lead to any serious issues given his BP condition. Any advice?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 56 and they found 4 blockages in his heart. The doctors are saying he needs CABG, which sounds serious. Could you help me understand more about this procedure? His blockages are quite severe with numbers like 997070 and the 4th one at 60.5. What do these numbers mean, and how urgent is it to get this surgery done? I'm trying to wrap my head around what's best for him.
Your father's condition of having multiple blockages in his heart is concerning, especially with such high percentages of blockage. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a common surgical procedure recommended in cases like this to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. In addition to the surgery, medications will also play a crucial role in managing his condition post-surgery. He will likely be prescribed medications such as Aspirin to prevent blood clots, Beta-blockers to reduce the heart's workload, Statins to lower cholesterol levels, and possibly ACE inhibitors to help with blood pressure control. It's important for him to follow the prescribed medication regimen and make necessary lifestyle changes to improve his heart health.
