I've been having some issues with fast pulse and feeling short of breath. It's weird because I don't really feel any heart pain, but I do start sweating. It seems like drinking water helps a bit, but whenever I'm fasting, these symptoms seem to get worse. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be going on. Any advice?

I'm really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I've recently recovered from COVID, and I've noticed my pulse rate is usually between 55-59, but sometimes it jumps to around 60. Is this something I should be worried about? I've been on Ecosprin for the past five years after having an angiogram. Just wondering if these numbers are normal or if there's anything I should be cautious about.
A pulse rate between 60-100 beats per minute is generally considered normal. A pulse rate of 55-60 may be on the lower side, but it can still be considered normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Since you have a history of taking Ecosprin after an angiogram, it's important to note that Ecosprin (aspirin) can sometimes lower the heart rate. If you are not experiencing any other symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a pulse rate of 55-60 may not be concerning. However, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring.
