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 allSo lately I've been experiencing this weird needle-like pain around my chest. It only sticks around for a few seconds and then just vanishes. But what really worries me is this constant pain I'm feeling in my back between the shoulder blades. It's just not going away. What could this be? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
"Based on your description of needle-like pain around the chest area that comes and goes, along with constant pain at the back between the shoulder blades, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of musculoskeletal pain or nerve irritation. To help alleviate the chest pain, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. For the constant back pain, you can try Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for inflammation and pain. Additionally, applying a heating pad to the back area may also provide some relief. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional."

I'm dealing with this ongoing issue of shortness of breath that just started up recently. It started after I began taking these medicines called Muktavati and Medhavati extra power from Patanjali for my high blood pressure. I was taking one tablet of Muktavati in the morning and one Medhavati at night for about 18 days, stopping on May 21st, 2022. Ever since I stopped, the breathing thing has been happening. What do you think could be going on here? Would really appreciate some guidance.

My dad had a heart attack on July 28th, and they found two blockages. The doctor put in one stent, but there's still another blockage left. Should we be worried about the untreated blockage, and what's usually the next step? What should we watch out for?
