I'm dealing with some light pain in my chest and shoulders, and my 2D echo report showed mild MR and TR with PAH and an RVSP of 40 mmHg. Can you help me figure out what steps I should take or what this might mean for my health?

Based on your symptoms and 2D echo report showing mild MRTRPah with an Rvsp of 40mmHg, it is important to manage your condition. You can take Tablet Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with any chest pain and to prevent blood clots. Additionally, you can take Tablet Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been wondering if it's safe for someone with a stent in their main heart artery to laugh a lot. Because laughing can increase blood flow, is there a chance it could lead to a higher risk of blood clotting in the artery?
Laughing is generally considered beneficial for overall health as it can reduce stress and improve mood. In the case of a patient with a stent in the main artery of the heart, laughing in moderation should not pose a significant risk of blood clotting. However, it is important for patients with a stent to follow their doctor's recommendations for medication and lifestyle modifications to prevent complications. If you have any concerns about how laughing may affect your heart health, it is best to discuss them with your healthcare provider.

I'm feeling this fluttering sensation on the upper left side of my chest and it's like my breath stops for a moment. I've had an ECG and all that, and apparently, everything is normal. Do you think it could be acidity or something else?

So my dad had CABG surgery on March 9, 2017, and everything seemed fine while he was in the hospital and ICU, even when we got home. But during a routine check-up on March 22, some of his meds were stopped. A couple of days later, he developed a fever around 99-100. We told our doctor, and he suggested blood and urine cultures. The urine culture came back positive with two bacteria, and one was really resistant to antibiotics. The surgeon prescribed Linospan 600 and Furadantin 200, twice and thrice daily, but the fever didn't go away. Another culture at the hospital showed negative for infection in his urine, yet his fever continued around 99-99.5. After a week, another urine culture was still negative. We tried stopping his Combiflame, and the fever went away for a couple of days, but then it returned, and we had to start Combiflame again. Why is his fever persisting despite all these medications and negative test results? Could it be something other than an infection, or are we missing something important? Any advice on what we should do next?
It seems like your dad is experiencing recurrent fever despite antibiotic treatment for a positive urine culture. Since the urine culture has come back negative on subsequent tests, it is important to consider other possible causes for the fever. One common cause could be a post-operative infection related to the CABG surgery. In such cases, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be needed. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding a different antibiotic to cover for other potential infections. In the meantime, to help manage the fever, you can continue giving Combiflam as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your dad stays well-hydrated and gets plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
