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 a bit concerned about my medication. I had an ASD closure with a device on October 3rd, 2020, and I've been taking aspirin 75 and clopidogrel 75 every afternoon since then. Is there any issue with continuing these meds? Can I stop them? I just recovered from COVID on May 18th and have my echo report with me. Should I be aware of anything specific?
Having an ASD (atrial septal defect) device closure and taking aspirin 75 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg are standard protocols to prevent blood clots. It is crucial to continue these medications unless advised otherwise by your cardiologist. Stopping them abruptly could increase the risk of clot formation around the device. Given that you have recently recovered from COVID-19, it's even more important to follow your prescribed medication regimen as COVID-19 can increase clotting risks. Please consult your cardiologist before making any changes to your medications. They can provide individualized advice based on your current health status and recent recovery.

I'm experiencing chest pain, and there's this discomfort and tingling sensation in my left hand. I'm not feeling normal at all. I've already done an ECG and an ECHO. Could you kindly share your WhatsApp number so I can send over my reports for your advice? I really need your help with this.
I don't know about your specific medical condition without reviewing your reports. However, based on your symptoms of chest pain, pain in the left hand, and palpitations, it could be related to a heart issue. You should consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate when I'm sleeping. At night, it sometimes goes as high as 115 beats per minute, but during the day, it's more like 85 BPM. I don't have any other health conditions right now. Should I be worried about this change in heart rate between day and night? Is it normal?
Heart beat rise during sleep in night up to 115 beats per minute is known as nocturnal tachycardia. This can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since you do not have any other existing conditions, I recommend monitoring your caffeine intake and practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime. If the issue persists, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol, starting with a low dose of 25mg once daily in the morning. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
