I've been having this really hard time breathing and there's this weird feeling in my chest where my heart is. Sometimes, it feels like I'm about to take my last breath, and it's really scary. I have no clue what's causing all this. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm worried about my father. He had angioplasty just yesterday, and now he's got this pain running from the middle of his leg down to his ankle. Is that something to be concerned about, or is it normal after angioplasty?
Pain from the mid-leg to the ankle after an angioplasty could be due to several factors, such as the site of catheter insertion (usually the femoral artery in the groin) or the use of a vascular closure device. While mild discomfort and bruising can be normal, significant pain should be evaluated to rule out complications like hematoma, arterial injury, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Please consult your father's healthcare provider promptly to assess the cause of the pain and ensure appropriate management.

I recently did some heart tests because I was experiencing pain in my left arm. My doctor mentioned it was muscular pain. My ECG didn't come out normal, but the TMT and 2D echo were fine. I'm really confused about whether it's okay to do strength training at the gym. I've attached my reports. Can you check them out and let me know what you think?
based on the reports you have provided, it's good to hear that your TMT and 2D echo results are normal, despite the abnormal ECG. Since your doctor has mentioned that the left arm pain is muscular in nature, it is generally safe to engage in strength training at the gym. However, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid any strain on the muscles. You can start with light weights and focus on proper form and technique. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consult with a fitness trainer at the gym to create a suitable workout plan that aligns with your health status. Remember to listen to your body and stop any exercise that causes discomfort or pain.

I'm 20 and was diagnosed with hypertension a couple of years back. With the chaos of COVID, my schedule was kind of all over the place, so I ended up taking my blood pressure meds around 2 in the afternoon. Whenever I check, my BP seems to hover around 13080 or 85. Is this considered controlled? Also, is it okay for me to start taking my BP meds after breakfast instead? I've always been under the impression that the effects of these pills only last about 12 hours, and then my BP might rise after that. I'm also undergoing psychiatric treatment and currently on metoprolol and amlodipine since my doctor stopped the telmisartan when COVID hit. Could you help me out here?
Your blood pressure reading of 13080-85 is within the normal range, but it is on the higher side of normal. To further control your blood pressure, you can consider taking your medications in the morning after breakfast. Metoprolol and amlodipine are commonly used to treat hypertension. You can take Metoprolol 50mg once daily in the morning after breakfast and Amlodipine 5mg once daily in the morning after breakfast as well. These medications work effectively to help lower your blood pressure throughout the day. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any adjustments in your treatment plan. Additionally, make sure to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to further support your blood pressure control.
