I've been feeling strange sensations in my heart, especially when I get home after work, and at first I thought it was from drinking too much coffee. I've cut down on coffee but the feeling is still there. I do drink 2 coffees and 4 cups of tea every day. I also exercise regularly, like doing push-ups and lifting weights. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Could it be linked to my caffeine intake, or might there be something else going on?

View allI'm trying to make sense of an angiography report, and it's got me a bit worried. It mentions a "LAD type 3 vessel proximal LAD 90 and mid LAD 90 stenosis" and "distal LAD minor plaques." Theres also talk of an "Intermediate 70 stenosis" and "LCX codominant system ostial 80 stenosis." Apparently, the LMCA is normal except for minor plaque and diagonals have non-obstructive plaque, while the marginals and PDAPLV are normal. The report concludes with "Final Diagnosis CAD Effort angina two vessel disease normal LV function. What does this all mean, and what should be the next steps? Is it something super serious?

I'm really worried because my triglycerides are at 471. I'm concerned if this could be a sign of heart disease. I tried using fibrates to help with it, but then my creatine levels went up. What should I do now? Any advice would be really helpful.
Since fibrates caused an increase in your creatinine levels, you may consider using statins such as Atorvastatin at a low dose to help lower your triglycerides. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication regimen.

I'm really worried about the possibility of having plaque in my arteries or if my coronary artery might be narrowing. Could you please tell me what tests I should consider to find this out? I just want to make sure I'm covering all the bases and keeping my heart healthy.
The tests to detect plaque in arteries or narrowing of coronary arteries include: 1. Coronary Angiography: This test involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or narrowing. 2. CT Coronary Angiography: This non-invasive test uses a CT scanner to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to detect any plaque buildup. 3. Stress Test: This test measures the heart's response to physical activity or medication to detect any reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, which can indicate narrowing of the coronary arteries. 4. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS): This test uses sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of the coronary arteries to detect any plaque buildup. 5. Cardiac Catheterization: This invasive test involves inserting a catheter into the coronary arteries to measure blood flow and detect any blockages or narrowing. These tests can help diagnose plaque buildup or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
