I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

My mom recently had an angioplasty done for two of her blocked arteries, and now she's showing some signs that make me worry there might be more blockages. Is there a way to check for blockages without having to go through another angiography? Would really appreciate your advice on this.

can undergo a CT angiography to detect any further blockage without going through another angiography. It is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed images of the blood vessels. The doctor may prescribe medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is important to monitor her condition.

I'm Bryan Das, and I'm 23 years old. A few years back, I had issues with heart palpitations and anxiety. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 after doing a bunch of tests, and I've been on it ever since. I keep an eye on my blood pressure, and it's usually around 12080 or 11775, so that's all good. I feel fine, except for the occasional heaviness in my head when I get acidity problems, but it's not frequent. I've recently been selected as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, and I'm aware that there's some intense training ahead. Should I be concerned about the military training affecting my heart, and before starting, I'm planning to get into the routine of running or jogging about 3-5 km every morning. Is that safe for me, or are there any risks I should know about? My blood sugar and lipid profile are normal. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

It's great to hear that your blood pressure remains stable with CIPLAR LA 40 and that your blood sugar and lipid profile tests are normal. With your medical history of heart palpitation and anxiety, it is important to proceed with caution when starting a new exercise routine, especially one as rigorous as military training. Running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is advisable to start slowly and gradually increase your intensity to assess your body's response. Given your stable blood pressure and normal test results, running can be beneficial for your overall health and fitness. However, it is essential to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard, especially if you experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It would be advisable to consult with your doctor or a cardiologist before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it is safe for you. As for military training, it is important to inform your trainers about your medical history and current medication. They can provide guidance on how to safely participate in the training activities. Regular monitoring of your heart rate and blood pressure during training sessions is also recommended to ensure your safety. In conclusion, running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is crucial to start gradually and listen to your body. Military training can also be safe with proper precautions and monitoring.
