I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's 74 and had angioplasty six months ago, but now he's got another arterial block that's 70% blocked. The surgery's being delayed because his creatinine level is 3.2, which I believe is quite high, right? Also, he was on Brilinta, but they told him to stop because his platelet count dropped to 58,000. He's having chest pain now, and I'm wondering what we should be doing here? Is his health in serious risk? What steps should we take to manage this situation?
Given the patient's history of angioplasty, a 70% arterial blockage, elevated creatinine level of 3.2, and low platelet count of 58,000, the current chest pain is concerning and requires immediate medical attention. The discontinuation of Brilinta due to low platelet counts increases the risk of clot formation. The patient should be evaluated urgently by a cardiologist and a nephrologist to manage both the cardiac and renal issues. Alternative anti-platelet strategies may be needed, and continuous cardiac monitoring, possibly including a coronary angiogram, should be performed. A multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, nephrologists, and hematologists is essential to address the complexities of his condition

Can I still have a heart rate of 125 and it be normal? I just recovered from being ill for two months and I'm feeling really weak. Should I be concerned about this or is it just part of my recovery?
A heart rate of 125 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if it persists at this level, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-100mg to help lower your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and gradually increase your activity level as you continue to recover from your illness.
