I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with pain in his left arm for over six years now, and at first, he was diagnosed just with hypertension. But after some more tests, they found out he has angina. The doctor recommended he take medication for about 23 weeks and then get an angiography. I'm wondering if we definitely need to go through with the angiography, or is there another way to handle this? And how serious is his condition?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the need for angiography, as it is a procedure that can provide valuable information about the condition of the heart and blood vessels. In the meantime, to manage angina, your father can take medications such as Nitroglycerin to relieve chest pain and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Aspirin and Beta-blockers can help reduce the workload on the heart and prevent further complications. It is important to continue monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well. Angina is a serious condition that requires proper management and monitoring to prevent complications such as heart attack.

I was really stressed out and had a day where I experienced palpitations. It's been about a month since then, and I went in for both an ECG and an echocardiogram. The doctors told me everything looked normal, but I noticed a Q wave in lead 3 on my ECG. Is that something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?
Seeing a q wave in lead 3 on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant and not necessarily indicative of any heart condition. However, it is important to consider the overall clinical context and additional factors. In this case, since your ECG and echo results were reported as normal by your doctors, it is likely that the q wave in lead 3 is not a cause for concern. It would be advisable to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation if needed.
