My dad had an angioplasty last month, and they put in a stent, but he's been feeling dizzy about 10 days afterward. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm really worried and not sure what to do next.

few side effects of angioplasty like allergic reactions, nausea,vomiting and sneezing ,,and giddiness in some cases can occur .It is normal. U need to check BP once and continue all the medications prescribed to the patient.

View allI'm taking ecospirin 75 every night at 9:30 PM, but sometimes I accidentally miss a dose. I'm worried about what could happen if I skip a day or two. Could you let me know if there would be any side effects or anything I should be aware of?
Missing a dose of ecospirin 75 (aspirin) can increase the risk of blood clots forming in your arteries, which can lead to serious conditions such as heart attack or stroke. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

I'm 19 years and 8 months old and this morning I almost fainted. I went to a clinic and the doctor checked my BP, which was 1690 mmHg. They said it's really high. I'm worried and I want to understand how serious my condition is and what precautions I should be taking right now. What steps should I follow to manage this?
Your blood pressure reading of 16090 mmHg indicates that you have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make some lifestyle changes to manage it. Here are some precautions you can take: - Start with lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium, saturated fats, and cholesterol. - Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. - Maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises or yoga. - Ensure you get an adequate amount of sleep each night. - Consider medication if lifestyle changes are not enough to control your blood pressure. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I've been having some chest pain that moves around a bit - sometimes it's on the left side, other times in the middle. I walk 5 km every day and I don't feel any pain when I walk, which is odd. About a year and a half ago, I had a TMT, Echo, and ECG done, and everything came back normal. Since then, I've had four more ECGs, and they're all normal too. I attached my latest ECG here. I'm just wondering, is there anything else I can do to really make sure this isn't a heart-related issue? The pain mostly hits when I'm sitting, so I can't figure out what's going on. Could it really be non-cardiac?
"Hello, based on your description and the normal results of your TMT, Echo, and multiple ECG tests, it is less likely that the chest pain is related to a cardiac issue. Since the pain occurs mostly when you are sitting, it could be musculoskeletal or related to gastric issues. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be necessary."
