I'm really concerned because my friend just had angiography and then angioplasty three days later. Now, due to complications, another angiography and possibly angioplasty are needed just three weeks after the first. Are there any risks with having these procedures so frequently?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Frequent angiography and angioplasty procedures can carry certain risks, such as increased chances of bleeding, infection, damage to blood vessels, and allergic reactions to contrast dye. Additionally, there is a risk of developing blood clots at the site of the procedure. To help reduce these risks, your friend's healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further complications. It is important for your friend to follow the prescribed medication regimen and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor for any potential complications.

View allMy mom has had diabetes for 10 years and has been experiencing chest pain while walking for the last 3 months. We just got her angiography report, and the doctor suggested bypass surgery right away. Does she really need the surgery based on the findings?
It's crucial to understand that while your mother's symptoms and diabetes history are concerning, a definitive answer to whether bypass surgery is necessary requires a detailed review of the angiogram findings and a discussion with her doctor. Bypass surgery isn't always the first or best option, and other treatment options may be available.

I'm really worried about someone who recovered from COVID three weeks ago but is still dealing with a persistent cough and some chest congestion. What concerns me more is that just yesterday, their heart rate shot up to 117, and even though it's come down to around 95 after taking one Evapump tab, I'm unsure if it's safe to use this medication whenever their pulse rate spikes. They tested negative for COVID twice with RT PCR recently. About two weeks ago, there was another incident where their pulse rate went all the way up to 157, with a blood pressure reading of 131 over 82. Can you let me know if these fluctuations are something to be concerned about and if this medication is the right way to manage it?
