I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

Considerations for Angioplasty in an 87-Year-Old Grandma _Procedure Risks and Benefits_ 1. *Risks*: Angioplasty carries risks, especially in elderly patients, such as bleeding, kidney damage, and stroke. 2. *Benefits*: Successful angioplasty can improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life. _Factors to Consider_ 1. *Age and frailty*: At 87, your grandma's age and potential frailty may increase the risks associated with angioplasty. 2. *Weakened heart*: Her heart's reduced function may impact her ability to tolerate the procedure. 3. *Successful treatment of pulmonary edema*: The fact that lasix treatment was successful is a positive indicator. _Recommended Approach_ 1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Discuss the risks and benefits of angioplasty with a cardiologist, considering your grandma's specific condition and medical history. 2. *Assess overall health*: Evaluate her overall health, including her kidney function, bleeding risk, and ability to tolerate the procedure. 3. *Consider alternative options*: If angioplasty is deemed too risky, discuss alternative treatments, such as medication or cardiac rehabilitation.

I'm a bit worried about my dad and wanted to get your opinion. He takes a capsule inhaler every day, and we're wondering if it's safe for him to get the Covaxin vaccine. He doesn't have any past allergies from vaccinations. Does this sound okay?

I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It mentions a left-sided pleural effusion extending to the infra scapular region, and there's some consolidation in the lower lung. Plus, it says something about the left dome being pulled up. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is it serious?
infection , pleural fluid analysis
