I'm really worried about what to do if a family member, like my mom or dad, ever has chest pain, starts sweating a lot, or has pain in the arm or shoulder. What if they start vomiting too? I mean, in that moment, can I give them aspirin or sorbitrate? And if so, how much should I give? Could you explain how to properly administer it? I'm a bit anxious about this and not really sure about the right steps.

I'm traveling right now, and I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is over 90. I've already taken Kipnor TR 40 and Etilaam 0.25. Is this normal for when you're active, or should I be concerned?

The normal pulse rate when you are active can vary depending on individual factors, but typically ranges from 100 to 170 beats per minute. Kipno tr 40 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Etilaam 0.25 is a brand name for Etizolam, which is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. Since your pulse rate is above 90 after taking these medications, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. If your pulse rate remains elevated or if you experience any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.

My dad, who's 69, had some pretty serious chest pain last week. An ECG showed something wasn't right and his angiography results mentioned artery blockages at 90%, 80%, and 70%. He's now on medication, but I'm really concerned. What does this all mean for his health, and are there other treatments we should consider to address these blockages?

It sounds like your father is experiencing significant heart issues with the reported artery blockages. To help manage the condition and prevent further complications, it is crucial for him to continue with the prescribed medications. One common medication that is often used in such cases is Atorvastatin, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related events. Additionally, medications like Aspirin can be beneficial in preventing blood clots and improving blood flow through the blocked arteries. It is important for your father to follow the dosage instructions provided by his healthcare provider and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress. In some cases, additional interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be recommended. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are also essential in managing his condition.
