I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.

If he is having triple vessel disease,he needs to u dergo Bypass surgery if not there is higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest, visit Cardiologist and follow their advice

I've been wondering if cold weather can affect blood pressure. I've noticed that my blood pressure is usually around 12080 to 13084 in the summer, but during the winter, it seems to go up to 13384 and sometimes even 13587. Is that something to be concerned about or is it normal for it to fluctuate with the seasons? Would really appreciate some insight.

Yes, cold weather can affect blood pressure. In colder temperatures, blood vessels tend to constrict in order to conserve heat and maintain body temperature, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure. This is why blood pressure tends to be higher in the winter and lower in the summer. To help manage your blood pressure during the winter, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques can also help regulate your blood pressure levels throughout the year.
