I'm feeling a bit anxious about an angiography procedure I'm considering. Could you tell me what risks are involved? Are there any serious complications I should be aware of? Also, what's the cost estimate for undergoing this procedure?

Angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical procedure, it carries some risks. Some potential risks and serious complications of angiography include: - Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used - Bleeding or hematoma at the catheter insertion site - Blood vessel damage or dissection - Blood clots - Stroke or heart attack - Kidney damage from the contrast dye The cost estimate of angiography can vary depending on the location, healthcare provider, and whether it is done on an outpatient or inpatient basis. On average, the cost of angiography can range from $500 to $5000 or more. If you are prescribed angiography, make sure to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.

View allI'm experiencing some pain in my hand after the angiogram test. Could you let me know what might help ease it? Im a bit worried about why this is happening.
After an angiogram test, it is common to experience some pain or discomfort at the site where the procedure was done. To help reduce the pain in your hand, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and I've been on Cordarone, 100 mg, ever since. Recently, around the last month and a half, my heart rate has been hovering between 60 and 65 bpm. Is this a healthy heart rate for someone in my situation, or do I need to see a cardiologist for this?
From the information provided, your heart rate of 60-65 bpm is within the normal range for adults. However, since you are a heart failure patient with a history of MVR surgery and taking Cordarone 100 mg, it is important to monitor any changes in your heart rate closely. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fatigue along with the lower heart rate, it would be advisable to consult your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I'm curious if it's normal for my heart rate to be between 50 to 60 while I'm sleeping because I'm noticing it jumps to about 140 when I'm doing housework. Can you tell me if that's okay and what my heart rate should be when I'm resting?
A heart rate of 50 to 60 beats per minute during sleep is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically fit. However, a heart rate of 140 during housework seems elevated and may warrant further evaluation. For sleeping, the normal resting heart rate typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute, but it can be lower in healthy, fit individuals. Its advisable to discuss these fluctuations with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues that need addressing
