I'm really worried about my brother. He had a heart attack in March 2017, and it turned out he had a 100% blockage in a left artery. He's been taking meds like planep 25mg, sexeloxon, and roustor gold10 to help with this. I'm just wondering, can medication actually remove the blockage, or is that not possible? And how do we even check if the blockage has improved or if it's still completely blocked?

To check if the blockage has been reduced or is still at 100%, he can undergo a diagnostic test called a coronary angiography. This procedure will provide detailed images of the arteries and can show if there has been any improvement in the blockage. It is important to follow up with his cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm really worried about my heart. I've been having heart palpitations for the past six months, and it's happened six times already. Just a few days ago, I woke up with my heart racing at 159 BPM. I went for an ECG, and the report said Sinus tachycardia with a heart rate of 139. My cardiologist said my ECHO 2d test was normal and prescribed me Cardarone 100mg and Petril Beta 10 for a month. But just two days ago, it happened again - I woke up with a rapid heartbeat of 125 BPM. I went for another ECG, and that one was normal, too. I even did a thyroid profile test, and it came back normal. When I'm trying to sleep, I can hear my heart pounding so loudly, and if I lie on my chest, it feels even worse. It's really uncomfortable. What should I do now? Should I stay on the medicine, or should I go in for more tests?
In your case, since you have already consulted a cardiologist and undergone tests like ECG and 2D ECHO which came out normal, the medications prescribed to you are appropriate for managing your symptoms. You should continue taking TAB Cardarone 100mg and Petril Bata 10 as prescribed by your doctor. TAB Cardarone helps in controlling irregular heartbeats, while Petril Bata helps in reducing anxiety which can sometimes exacerbate palpitations. If you are still experiencing discomfort and palpitations, you may consider discussing with your cardiologist about adjusting the dosage of the medications or exploring other treatment options. Additionally, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and maintaining a healthy sleep routine to help manage your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
