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.

I've been drinking a lot of water, like between 42 to 64 ounces a day, and I've noticed I sometimes get short of breath and feel some pressure on my chest. But when I don't drink as much water the next day, those symptoms kind of disappear. Could the amount of water I'm drinking be affecting my breathing and chest pressure?

I'm a bit worried about a possible heart issue. So, I was working and suddenly got this intense headache. I went to see a doctor, and my ECG was a bit off. The Troponin I test showed 0.15 while my BP was 144. The doctor advised me to rest for 45 days with some meds and said there's no need to worry. After two days, I checked my ECG and BP, and they were both normal. I'm really curious if there's still a risk of any heart stroke or damage. What do you think?

A sudden headache and an elevated troponin I level of 0.15 ngmL can be concerning, as troponin is a marker of heart muscle damage. However, since your ECG and blood pressure are now normal and your doctor advised rest and medication, it appears that any immediate risk has been managed. It's important to follow your doctor's advice, take your medication, and rest as prescribed. Additionally, continue to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation or tests they recommend. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or another severe headache, seek medical attention immediately.
