I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

View allI'm really worried about my dad's recent angiography test results. It showed he has a 100% blockage in two arteries and 95% in a third artery, with just one vein working properly. I'm trying to understand if he should consider bypass surgery or angioplasty. Which option is generally more effective for extending lifespan?
For blockages of 100% in two arteries and 95% in the third artery, bypass surgery would be more effective in this case. Bypass surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle, bypassing the blocked arteries. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms such as chest pain. It is also known to extend lifespan and reduce the risk of future heart attacks compared to angioplasty. The patient should consult with a cardiac surgeon to discuss the best treatment option and further details regarding the bypass surgery procedure and post-operative care.

I'm curious about my health situation. I've been on Amcard for the past 10 years, but this year my blood pressure isn't controlled. I recently did a lipid profile, and while my cholesterol level went down from 210 to 165, my triglycerides have gone up from 135 to 195. I also drink about 200 ml of alcohol every day and have been doing so for the last 30 years. Could this be affecting my test results, and should I be concerned or make some changes?
Alcohol intake can significantly impact triglyceride levels. I recommend reducing your alcohol consumption to help lower your triglyceride levels. In addition, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Atorvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. The usual dosage for Atorvastatin is 10-80 mg per day, depending on your specific needs. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure and lipid levels effectively.
