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?

Q: I've been feeling this pulsing sensation in my stomach, especially when I'm lying on my back. It's like I can sense my heartbeat there, and it's starting to really worry me. Could you give me some advice on what this might be?

An ecg,lipid panel and echo is advised to the patient.

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.

I'm a bit confused and concerned because I just got an EKG done, and the results say "borderline ECG." What exactly does that mean? Should I be worried about this?

Borderline ECG means that the results of your EKG are not definitively normal or abnormal. It suggests that there may be slight abnormalities in the electrical activity of your heart, but it is not conclusive. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm really confused about what the normal blood pressure value is supposed to be. I've read online that it's 12080, but then I've also heard from doctors that 14090 is normal, and some even say up to 160100 isn't a problem. I'm really anxious about this and just want to know what the actual normal range for blood pressure is.

It depends on age But. < or =14090 is ok
