I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.

View allI've been feeling this slight pain on the right side of my chest, kind of close to the center, for about 45 days now. I also have some acidity issues. Should I be worried about this?
The pain in the center of your chest could be due to acid reflux causing heartburn. I recommend taking antacids like Tums (500mg) as needed for relief from acidity. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help manage your acidity problem. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further medical evaluation.

I'm looking for some help understanding my ECG report. One of the doctors mentioned something called Prolonged QT syndrome, and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some more details about it? I've also attached the medications I've been prescribed.
The Prolonged QT syndrome is a heart condition that can potentially cause fast, chaotic heartbeats, which can be life-threatening. It is diagnosed based on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that shows a prolonged QT interval, indicating a delay in the heart's electrical recharging system. This delay can lead to arrhythmias and fainting spells. For the treatment of Prolonged QT syndrome, medications like Beta-blockers are commonly prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the risk of arrhythmias. In your case, the medication prescribed is **Propranolol** at a dosage of 40mg twice daily. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that helps to stabilize the heart's electrical activity and prevent dangerous heart rhythms. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and to follow up regularly to monitor your heart's condition. If you experience any concerning symptoms or side effects, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I was recently prescribed concor cor 2.5 for my blood pressure, which is 13090, and I have a heart rate of 113. Since I'm always on the go and sometimes end up skipping breakfast, I'm wondering if it's okay to take this medication on an empty stomach. Is that safe, or should I make sure to eat something first?
Concor Cor 2.5 is a brand name for Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. It is generally recommended to take Bisoprolol with food to help with absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you often skip breakfast, you can take your dose with a light snack or a small meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor.
