I had an angioplasty on February 14th, and they did it through my right arm. It's still hurting, and I can't stretch it properly. I've taken painkillers, but the pain just wont go away. What can I do about this?

Its common to experience pain and discomfort in the arm after an angioplasty, especially if the procedure was done through the arm. I recommend following up with your doctor to ensure there are no complications. In the meantime, gentle stretching and using a warm compress might help ease the pain.

I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?

I've been having chest pain every evening, even though my ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram all come back normal. My cardiologist prescribed Flavedon MR 35, to be taken twice a day. Is this the right approach? Is there anything else I should be looking into for these everyday symptoms?
