I'm really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

View allHad open heart surgery with a bental procedure back in August 2014 and now dealing with seroma pinna swelling and fluid buildup in my outer ear. The doctor suggested either needle drainage or surgery, but I'm on daily warfarin 10mg. Is it safe to go ahead with either option given the blood thinners?
yes, can use blood thinner.

I'm really worried because I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for a few months now. I'm asthmatic but I'm not having any trouble breathing or coughing. I saw a heart doctor and he did an echo, which came back normal, and the chest X-ray was normal too. The pain is kind of between my lower ribs up to the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it goes to my back. I'm really scared about what it could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
An orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.Tab ibuprofen 400mg is advised orally twice daily for 7 days ,tab pan 40 mg once daily for 7 days and volinigel sos for pain.

I'm having this weird pinching chest pain right after I fall asleep. I got two ECGs, one in January and another in February, to check it out, and both were normal. I also did a TMT in February, and that came back negative too. I've tried taking anti-acids to relieve the pain, but they don't seem to be helping. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What could be going on, and what should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing your chest pain. In this case, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Gaviscon after meals and at bedtime for immediate relief. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If symptoms persist, you may need further evaluation by a gastroenterologist.
