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?

My mom and dad are both senior citizens, and I've been getting a bit concerned about their heart health because there seem to be so many cases of blockages popping up lately. I think catching any issues early on would be really helpful. Also, I've noticed these yellow patches around my mom's eyes, and when I looked it up, it seems like they might be cholesterol deposits or Xanthelasma. Could you suggest what tests we should consider for early detection of any possible issues?

An ecg,lipid panel and echo is advised to the patients.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain whenever I'm angry or stressed. It feels like cramps, and it's as if my heart is full of pain. Along with that, I get dizzy and sometimes see things doubled. Even after I calm down, the pain can last for two to four hours. I'm not sure what's causing this, and honestly, it's pretty scary. Chest pain isn't something I want to ignore. Could you help me figure out why this is happening when I'm angry, stressed, or feeling down?

it might be due to anxiety, try consulting your bear by psychiatrist

I'm really worried because for the past four months I've been dealing with high blood pressure, fatigue, and dizziness. A month ago, I saw a physician who told me my BP was 150100 and put me on some tablets. I started with Prolomet XL 25, then added Amlong 2.5 after dinner. For a couple of weeks, things seemed better with my BP at 13080, but the dizziness and fatigue haven't gone away. I've never felt like this before. Do you think there are other medicines I should consider or any other advice you might have?

It's good that your blood pressure has improved with the medications you are currently taking. However, if you are still experiencing dizziness and fatigue, it may be necessary to adjust your medication regimen. I would recommend adding a medication like Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg once daily in the morning. This medication can help further control your blood pressure and reduce the dizziness and fatigue symptoms you are experiencing. Remember to consult with your physician before making any changes to your medication regimen."
