I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

I'm really worried because my dad had a heart attack yesterday. After he got an injection, he seemed better, but today, we went to another hospital for an angiogram. They found two blockages that are over 80% and now theyre saying he needs angioplasty. I'm really wondering, what happens if we dont go through with the angioplasty? Are there other options we could consider? And is there any way we can try to clear the blockages naturally from home?
If the blockages in the coronary arteries are more than 80%, it is crucial to address them to prevent further complications such as another heart attack or even death. If angioplasty is not performed, the blockages can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and in severe cases, a heart attack. The main alternative to angioplasty for severe blockages is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, where a healthy blood vessel is used to bypass the blocked artery. However, the decision between angioplasty and CABG depends on various factors and should be discussed with the treating cardiologist. As for natural ways to remove blockages at home, it is important to note that while lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and not smoking can help prevent further blockages, they may not remove existing severe blockages. It is always best to follow the medical advice of your healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment in this situation.

I've been having this weird pain, like in my heart and behind it, and it's been slowly moving to my shoulder. Now my mouth is super dry and I'm even feeling some pain near the top part of my left arm, right above my heart. What could this mean? Should I be worried about these symptoms?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take a tablet of aspirin (325mg) to help thin the blood and reduce the risk of further complications. Call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment.
