I'm scheduled to have an angiogram next week and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it. How long does it usually take to recover fully from this procedure? I'm also worried about any possible side effects or serious risks that might come with it. And after the angiogram, will I need to stay in the hospital for a long time?

View allI'm really worried because my ECG report says "old lateral infarct sinus rhythm." I'm not sure what that means exactly. Could you help me understand it? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?
The ECG report indicating an old lateral infarct means that there was a previous heart attack that affected the lateral (side) part of the heart. Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you may be prescribed medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce the workload on the heart. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.

I've been on Telmasartan 40 mg for 4 days now, and ever since, I've felt super tired and just too weak to do anything. My stomachs been feeling a bit bloated too. I've had high blood pressure and pulse for a while, like for over a year now, but Ive only been on medication for about 12 months. I'm starting to wonder if my body and heart got so used to the high blood pressure that they cant handle what's supposed to be normal. Should I stop the meds and just let my body deal with the high blood pressure, or should I stick with Telma and try to manage these side effects?
u have to continue bp medications , u cannot stop the bp medications .Salt restricted diet is advised .

I had my ECG done today, and the report showed some abnormalities. My doctor mentioned that everything was normal, but I'm confused. What should I do now?
If your doctor has reviewed your ECG report and assured you that it is normal despite showing abnormalities, it is important to trust their expertise. ECG results can sometimes show variations that are within normal limits for certain individuals. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms that persist, it is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and clarification.
