I've been having sweating and breathlessness when going up the stairs, and there's some numbness in my palm along with a light pain in my chest. I talked to a cardiologist who's pretty experienced, and after checking out my echo report, they've suggested I get an angiography. I'm really unsure about whether I should go through with it. Could you give me some advice on this? I would really appreciate a quick response.

Based on your symptoms and the recommendation of your cardiologist, undergoing angiography would be important to assess the condition of your heart vessels. This procedure can provide detailed information about any blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying your heart. It will help in determining the best course of treatment for your condition. Please follow your cardiologist's advice and proceed with the angiography as recommended.

View allI'm experiencing this left hand cramp and chest pain that comes and goes, and it's been joined by this left arm pain for about eight days now. I went for an ECG yesterday, and they said everything looked normal, though my heart rate was up a bitapparently due to stress. I actually had a similar hand cramp about a month ago. Should I be concerned or look into other causes for these symptoms?
Based on your symptoms of left hand cramp, chest pain, and left arm pain, along with a normal ECG result and slightly elevated heart rate possibly due to stress, it is important to consider muscle relaxants and pain relievers. You can take acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine 5mg to help with the hand cramp. It is important to take these medications as directed on the packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional

I've been experiencing some chest pain and it's really hard to take a deep breath. I also have this tingling feeling on the right side of my chest, near the breast area, and it's making me feel really suffocated. What's going on with me?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I've been having some concerns after a medical camp at my office where my BP was checked. The first reading was 120180 and the second was 110170. The doctor suggested I take Lasix for a day and then start on Telma 40 mg for 10 days. I've just started the medication yesterday. Over the past week, I've reduced my salt intake and started doing yoga. Before starting the medication, my BP readings were 110150, 105145, 110150, and 115155. Yesterday I took Lasix at 3 pm and today 1 tablet of Telma 40 mg at 8 am. My BP reading at 7:30 pm today was 14090. I'm feeling a bit different after the meds and am wondering if they're too strong or just right. What do you think is happening?
It seems like your blood pressure is gradually stabilizing, which is a positive sign, but a reading of 14090 is still on the higher side. It's normal to feel a bit different when starting medication, but if you're concerned or feel any discomfort, its important to check in with your doctor to ensure the dosage is appropriate for you.
