I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

Angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical procedure, it carries some risks. Some potential risks and serious complications of angiography include: - Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used - Bleeding or hematoma at the catheter insertion site - Blood vessel damage or dissection - Blood clots - Stroke or heart attack - Kidney damage from the contrast dye The cost estimate of angiography can vary depending on the location, healthcare provider, and whether it is done on an outpatient or inpatient basis. On average, the cost of angiography can range from $500 to $5000 or more. If you are prescribed angiography, make sure to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.

I'm really worried about this chest pain I've been having. It's been going on for about a month now, right where I can feel my heartbeat. It's been getting worse over the past few days, and it even hurts when I laugh or move my left hand. I did see a doctor when it was less painful, and they said it was muscular pain, but I'm honestly not convinced. I didn't lift anything heavy or suffer any injury, and it's just that specific spot that hurts. Could this be something more serious than muscular pain?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Since the pain has been increasing and is now triggered by laughing or moving your left hand, it's important to take it seriously. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) as a precautionary measure to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Additionally, you should follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly consider an ECG to rule out any heart-related issues.

I'm really worried about this ongoing lightheadedness I've been dealing with for the past 8 months. It's like I'm under the influence of something, almost like alcohol, but I'm not. I've had these scary episodes where my chest hurts and my blood pressure shoots up to 150100. The ER told me it was a panic attack, and it's happened twice now. I've undergone so many testsHolter Monitor, ECG, EKG, chest and heart CT scans, even a brain MRI and countless blood tests. Everything comes back normal, including checks for anemia and thyroid issues. They did find H. Pylori, and I finished a 14-day antibiotic course for that, but otherwise, doctors say I'm fine. Yet, I can't shake these feelings and symptoms. I'm 30, 6 feet tall, and weigh 90 kg, with blood pressure often around 13590. I've even had ECGs during the pain episodes. Can you help me figure out what might be going on here?
It sounds like you have been through a thorough evaluation for your symptoms. Since all your reports have come back normal and your doctors have ruled out various possible causes, including panic attacks, it's important to consider other factors that may be contributing to your lightheadedness and other symptoms. One possible cause could be inner ear problems leading to vertigo-like symptoms. I recommend trying a medication called Meclizine (brand name Antivert) at a dose of 25-100 mg per day to help with your lightheadedness. Additionally, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy to address any inner ear issues. It's also important to stay well-hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and practice stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.
