I'm dealing with some slight chest pain and noticed it happens when I'm not breathing fully, like my breath feels kind of incomplete. It's been going on for the past month and sometimes can last the whole day. I'm worried and not sure what's going on. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI have dental caries in 89 teeth and need extractions but I'm on Clopilet A 75 for my CAD with a stent. My dentist says to stop antiplatelet meds for a week before surgery but I'm not sure if it's safe. I take Metrogyl and Augmentin occasionally for infections and mostly eat soft foods. Can I really pause my antiplatelet meds for that long without risking my heart?
It's understandable to be concerned about stopping your antiplatelet medication. While some dentists recommend pausing antiplatelet drugs before dental extractions, it's generally not considered necessary, especially for procedures like extractions that have a low risk of bleeding. Dental extractions can be performed safely without stopping these medications as long as appropriate local hemostatic measures are taken.

My dad's heart is only pumping at 19% capacity, and I'm really worried about him. He's also been dealing with diabetes and recently had some edema issues. Is there anything we can do to help improve his heart function?
I recommend that your father's condition be managed with medications such as Carvedilol (Coreg) to help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. Additionally, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with the edema by reducing fluid retention. It is important to closely monitor his diabetes as well to keep his blood sugar levels under control. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications can also help improve heart function.
