I'm trying to understand the results of a recent angiogram and I'd love some clarity. It mentions a right femoral arterial approach with a normal LMCA, but there's a 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD and a 50% stenosis distally in the LCX. It also says the OM has a 90% stenosis in a small vessel, and the RCA has a 40% stenosis proximally. The renal angiogram shows everything is normal for both kidneys. My biggest worry is about the critical stenosis in the LAD. What does all this mean for my heart health, and what kind of treatment or lifestyle changes should I be considering?

View allI had a heart attack from smoking back in March 2017 and found out my left main artery was 100% blocked. I'm on meds like Roustor, GoldPlanep, and Skelexon now. Is it possible for medication to completely reverse the blockage? How can I find out if it's really reversed?

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure readings. When I'm lying down, my BP usually stays under 12080. But when I sit up, it changes to somewhere between 13095 and 140100. I'm currently taking Telma, and I'm just wondering if these lying-down readings are reliable or if I should focus on the sitting-up ones. Do you think I need to change my dose, or does it seem like my blood pressure is under control based on the lying-down numbers?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure in different positions to get a comprehensive view of your overall blood pressure control. In your case, it seems like your blood pressure is well controlled when lying down but slightly elevated when sitting up. This could indicate that your current dose of Telma may not be fully controlling your blood pressure in all positions. I would recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to consider adjusting your Telma dosage or exploring other treatment options to ensure that your blood pressure remains within a healthy range in all positions.

I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?
