I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

I'm really concerned because my dad just had Angioplasty and Thrombosuction after he suffered a major heart attack last week. Now he's experiencing pain in the fingers of the hand that was used for the procedure. Has anyone seen this before, and what should we do about it?
Pain in the fingers of the hand used for angioplasty could be due to several factors, including irritation from the catheter insertion site, bruising, or local inflammation. It's important to monitor the area for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge. Resting the hand and applying a cold compress can help alleviate discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, or if there are signs of infection or compromised blood flow (such as color changes in the fingers or numbness), please contact your father's healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation and management.
