I've been checking my heart rate with my phone, and it usually reads between 90-100. I don't smoke, drink, or experience any stress, but sometimes my heart feels a bit heavy, even when I'm just resting. Is this normal? I'm 5.9 tall and weigh 75 kg.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty 5 days ago and now he's got a fever, like 101F. His face and neck feel warm, but not his arms and legs. Plus, he's got a cough with white phlegm. I've been giving him paracetamol and he's taking lizolid and ceftum twice a day, like the doctor said. Is this something normal after such a procedure, or should I be concerned?
It is not uncommon to have a fever after a surgical procedure like angioplasty, but it is important to monitor it closely. The symptoms of fever and cough with white phlegm could indicate an infection. The medications you have mentioned are appropriate for such symptoms. Continue giving him paracetamol for fever. Additionally, ensure he completes the full course of antibiotics - lizolid and ceftum - as prescribed. Monitor his temperature regularly and if the fever persists or if he develops any new symptoms, please consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

What does it mean when my CT coronary angiography says there's a type 2 issue in the LAD? I've been dealing with chest pain and palpitations, and I'm really worried about what this could imply for my heart health. Could you help me understand what this result means and how serious it might be?
In your CT coronary angiography report, "LAD type 2" refers to a variation in the branching pattern of the left anterior descending artery. This variation is usually considered a normal anatomical variant and does not necessarily indicate any disease or blockage in the artery. It is important to correlate this finding with your symptoms of chest pain and palpitations. For chest pain and palpitations, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for chest pain and beta-blockers like metoprolol for palpitations. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
