Ive been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

View allMy dad's experiencing some angina pain, and we went to see a doctor at Sgpgi. They recommended an angiography, and it turns out there's an 80% blockage in each of his arteries. What does this mean for his health, and what should we consider doing next?
The recommended medication for managing angina pain due to blockage in the arteries is Nitroglycerin. It helps to relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart. Additionally, your father may also be prescribed antiplatelet medications like Aspirin to prevent blood clots, and statins like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages.

I sometimes get these palpitations and it's really concerning. I don't usually have any chest pain or trouble breathing when it happens. I got some tests done, and my thyroid levels are alright, and the echo seems fine too. But my ECG came back showing a heart rate of 104 bpm. Is this something I should be worried about? And what can I do to bring my heart rate down?
An abnormal ECG with a heart rate of 104 bpm can be concerning, especially if you are experiencing palpitations. One way to help lower your heart rate is by taking a beta-blocker medication. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and avoiding stimulants like caffeine can also help lower your heart rate.

I've been wondering about how long it might take for the heart to heal after getting a stent in the main artery at age 48. If the person isnt an alcoholic or diabetic, follows a vegetarian diet, eats very little fast food, but does consume dairy products like curd, malai, and cream, would this kind of lifestyle impact their recovery time? I'm just trying to figure out what factors might affect the healing process.
For most people, stent implantation recovery is fairly quick, with initial healing taking about 4 to 6 weeks and full recovery occurring over the course of 3 to 6 months. Since the person in question has a generally healthy lifestyle and no major risk factors, their recovery should be smooth, but they will still need to follow their cardiologists advice regarding diet, exercise, and medication. Its essential to maintain a healthy diet, continue taking prescribed medications, and regularly follow up with the cardiologist. The doctor will provide personalized advice on when to resume more intense activities, based on progress.
