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've been feeling my heartbeat in my stomach lately and it's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this?
This sensation is known as pulsatile tinnitus and can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow near the abdomen. I recommend you to consult with a doctor for further evaluation. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any discomfort.

I've been experiencing chest pain sometimes when I take deep breaths, and I also find myself getting out of breath when I'm walking or using the stairs. My cholesterol numbers came back with a total of 274, HDL at 49, and triglycerides at 193. I'm currently taking Storvas 20 and have been on it for about 20 days now. Can you advise on what steps I should take or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms and cholesterol levels, it is important to continue taking Storvas 20 to help lower your cholesterol levels. In addition, you may benefit from adding an antiplatelet medication like Aspirin 75mg to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking if you smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
