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."

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 113 over 81 is considered normal. My diastolic seems to fluctuate between 81 and 90 and I'm noticing that my systolic always tends to stay on the lower side. Could you give me some insight into whether this is something I should be concerned about or if it's within a normal range?
Blood pressure of 11381 is considered normal. Diastolic blood pressure fluctuating between 81-90 is still within normal range. It is common for diastolic blood pressure to fluctuate slightly. As long as your systolic blood pressure remains on the lower side and within normal range, there is usually no cause for concern.

I've been experiencing these weird moments where I feel like I skip a breath or it just goes shallow for a quick second and then goes back to normal. It's kind of freaking me out. I had an ECG done and it turned out normal, except for some Tachycardia, but that was probably just because I got panicked while lying there. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that's relatively common and not serious?
Random shallow breathing or skipped breaths, despite normal ECG results, may indicate: Potential Causes 1. Anxiety or stress 2. Panic attacks 3. Hyperventilation syndrome 4. Respiratory issues (asthma, COPD) 5. Cardiac arrhythmias (although ECG was normal) 6. Sleep apnea 7. Neurological conditions (e.g., epilepsy, multiple sclerosis) Next Steps 1. Consult a cardiologist or pulmonologist
