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 really off for the past 10 days. I get this suffocating sensation that eases up only after taking a few deep breaths, but it comes back when I lay down to sleep. It's like a mild pain on my left chest that feels kind of muscular, and it also affects the left side of my neck and shoulder. My schedule's a mess 'cause I work in ITI'm up till like 3 AM and sleep around 1 PM. I haven't had any severe pain, but I do get this sudden feeling where its like Im not getting enough oxygen. There's no history of heart or pulmonary issues in my family. Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you're experiencing occasional breathlessness, which may be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially with your irregular sleep schedule. It's important to monitor these symptoms, but considering the absence of severe pain or a family history of heartlung issues, it might also be linked to stress or sleep disruption. However, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I had an ASD closure with a device on October 3rd, 2020, and I've been taking aspirin 75 and clopidogrel 75 every afternoon since then. Is there any issue with continuing these meds? Can I stop them? I just recovered from COVID on May 18th and have my echo report with me. Should I be aware of anything specific?
Having an ASD (atrial septal defect) device closure and taking aspirin 75 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg are standard protocols to prevent blood clots. It is crucial to continue these medications unless advised otherwise by your cardiologist. Stopping them abruptly could increase the risk of clot formation around the device. Given that you have recently recovered from COVID-19, it's even more important to follow your prescribed medication regimen as COVID-19 can increase clotting risks. Please consult your cardiologist before making any changes to your medications. They can provide individualized advice based on your current health status and recent recovery.
