I'm really concerned because my dad had an angioplasty a few days ago, and they put in a stent. Since then, he's been having a really bad dry cough at night. The doctor gave us some medicine, but it doesnt seem to be making any difference. I'm worried this might affect his stent or his heart. Could this cough be connected to the procedure or the medication? What should we do next?

View allMy aunt recently had a TMT test which came back positive, so she had a CAG done afterward. The doctor said everything looked normal, with no artery blockages, but she was still given medicine for heart attack prevention and blood circulation. Does this mean there's possibly another issue going on? I'm really concerned and don't quite understand why she'd need these medications if there's no blockage. Could it be related to something else?
It is possible that your aunt's symptoms could be related to other cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease or heart failure. However, without more information about her specific symptoms and medical history, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. The medications prescribed for heart attacks and blood circulation issues are typically aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health. It is important for your aunt to continue taking the prescribed medications as directed by her doctor to reduce the risk of any potential complications.

I'm 21 years old and feeling pretty weak. My weight's only 47 kg, and I'm experiencing chest pain whenever I do any heavy work. I also have heart palpitations, feel weak, and yawn a lot. I've attached my x-ray reportcould you take a look and let me know what's going on?
Based on your symptoms of chest pain, heart palpitations, weakness, and excessive yawning, along with your low weight, it is important to rule out any underlying cardiac issues or anemia. Since you have provided an x-ray report, it would be best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For chest pain and heart palpitations, you can take **Metoprolol** 25mg twice daily to help with the symptoms. Additionally, if anemia is confirmed, you can take **Ferrous Sulfate** 325mg once daily to improve your iron levels and alleviate weakness. Please follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate management.

I'm wondering about something. I had an angioplasty last year and got a stent placed. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird palpitations every night as I try to sleep, but I don't actually feel them in my chest. It's strange because they're more noticeable in my jaw. My doctor prescribed Prolomet XL 25, which I've been taking for about four months now, even though I don't have high blood pressure. I'm really curious if this is something that's going to stick around forever or if there's a way to get rid of it. What's your take on this?
The palpitations you're experiencing, particularly at night and localized to your jaw, may be related to anxiety, stress, or a cardiac issue; given your history of angioplasty and stent placement, consult your cardiologist to rule out any underlying cardiac concerns, and consider adjusting your Prolomet XL 25 dosage or exploring alternative treatments, such as beta blockers or anti-anxiety medications, to alleviate symptoms.
