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?

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.

I've been dealing with neck pain for the past 20 days, and now I'm starting to feel pain on the left side of my chest and in my shoulders. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain that is radiating from your neck to your chest and shoulders. I recommend taking Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel to the affected areas. Make sure to rest your neck, avoid any strenuous activities, and practice good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about the angiography report that showed blockages in all three arteries and their branches, with numbers like 100, 100, and 95. It's causing lung congestion and I'm scared about what this means for health. What options are available for treatment?

It sounds like you're dealing with severe coronary artery blockage in all three major arteries, with the blockage percentages being quite high. Additionally, the congestion is causing fluid buildup in the lungs, which can make breathing difficult. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for the best treatment approach.
