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 allI'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. The report shows a PR of 102 and I'm not sure if that's within the normal range. I've also attached the ECG here for you to take a look. Could you let me know if everything seems okay? We're also considering cataract surgery, so I wanted to check if this ECG is fine before moving forward with that.
An ECG with a PR interval of 102 milliseconds is within the normal range. As for cataract surgery, it is important to assess your overall health condition before proceeding. Please consult with your ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for cataract surgery.

I've been noticing that my heart often beats really strongly, and this has been going on for several years now. Last year, I got an ECG and the doctor said I have high blood pressure and some other issues, recommending that I see a cardiologist. What could be causing these strong heartbeats, and should I be concerned about the high blood pressure?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to your high blood pressure. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg once daily. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your heart condition.
