I'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.

"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."

View allI've been having this sharp pain at the bottom of my chest and when I talked to a doctor about it, they mentioned it might be due to gas. They advised getting an ECG, which I did, and I've attached the results here. I smoke about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day and have been eating out quite a bit recently because of work travel. I'm 75kgs and 5 feet 7 inches tall. What should I do next?
The sharp pain in the bottom of your chest could be due to gastritis caused by excess gas. Based on your ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities detected. However, smoking and consuming hotel food frequently can exacerbate your symptoms. To alleviate the gas and chest pain, you can take an over-the-counter antacid like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals. Additionally, you should try to quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes per day. It is also advisable to avoid spicy and oily foods, and opt for a more balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve your symptoms.

I'm a bit confused and worried after seeing my recent health checkup report. It mentions Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but everything else like chamber dimension, RWMA, and LV systolic function looks normal. The report also notes trivial MR and TR, with no PAH, clot, or vegetation, and my EF is 70. Can you help me understand what Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction really means and if there's anything I should do about it?
grade 1 diastolic dysfunction could be due to hypertension , electrolyte imbalance and due to ischaemic heart disease.Salt restricted diet and DASH diet is advised.Also regular aerobic exercises is advised..Alcohol and cessation of smoking is advised

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to tell the difference between a cough that's from an infection and one that's because of fluid in the lungs. At first, my doctor gave me antibiotics and cough syrup, but they didn't help my cough. Then, when my coughing got really bad, I saw another doctor who gave me Lasix, and that actually worked right away. So, is there a way to know if a cough is more likely from fluid in the lungs rather than an infection? It would really help to understand if there's a distinct difference so I can feel more sure about what's causing my cough.
Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily to the patient.
