Considerations for Angioplasty in an 87-Year-Old Grandma _Procedure Risks and Benefits_ 1. *Risks*: Angioplasty carries risks, especially in elderly patients, such as bleeding, kidney damage, and stroke. 2. *Benefits*: Successful angioplasty can improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life. _Factors to Consider_ 1. *Age and frailty*: At 87, your grandma's age and potential frailty may increase the risks associated with angioplasty. 2. *Weakened heart*: Her heart's reduced function may impact her ability to tolerate the procedure. 3. *Successful treatment of pulmonary edema*: The fact that lasix treatment was successful is a positive indicator. _Recommended Approach_ 1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Discuss the risks and benefits of angioplasty with a cardiologist, considering your grandma's specific condition and medical history. 2. *Assess overall health*: Evaluate her overall health, including her kidney function, bleeding risk, and ability to tolerate the procedure. 3. *Consider alternative options*: If angioplasty is deemed too risky, discuss alternative treatments, such as medication or cardiac rehabilitation.

I've just tested positive for Covid-19 and I'm experiencing mild symptoms, along with some difficulty in breathing. Should I consider getting an HRCT scan? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance.

I'm really concerned about my friend's oxygen saturation levels. They've been all over the placesometimes it starts at 76 and then jumps up to 93 or 94 after a few minutes. He doesn't have any symptoms and seems fine otherwise, but his family is worried because their levels are all at 99 spO2. Is it normal for oxygen levels to fluctuate like this in someone who's not showing any symptoms? Should we consider getting him a COVID test or something just to be sure?
it is normal for a person , don't worry. no need of any tests
