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.

View allI'm really worried. My total cholesterol came back as 108 and there's a star next to itwhat does that mean? I've been having heart palpitations and got my ECG, 2D echo, and TMT done, and everything turned out normal. Can you help me figure out whats going on?
A total cholesterol level of 108 mgdL is considered low, and while low cholesterol is generally not a concern, it may sometimes indicate underlying conditions like liver issues or nutrient deficiencies, so its worth discussing with your doctor. Regarding your heart palpitations, its reassuring that your ECG, 2D echo, and TMT tests came back normal, suggesting no immediate heart problems. Palpitations can still be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, caffeine, or electrolyte imbalances, so its important to monitor any triggers or patterns. Ensure you're maintaining a balanced diet (especially electrolytes like potassium and magnesium), managing stress, and avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol. Since your tests are normal, but palpitations persist, you may want to follow up with your doctor for further advice and possibly consider a Holter monitor to track the palpitations more closely.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed this nerve in my left palm beating, and I'm not sure if it's something dangerous. I had an ASD device closure recently, and I'm wondering if this might be related. I have a 3-year-old child, so I just want to make sure everything's okay. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Nerve beating or throbbing in the palm of your left hand can be due to various reasons such as nerve compression, inflammation, or even stress. Since you recently had an ASD device closure, it is important to monitor this symptom closely. To help alleviate the nerve beating, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've recently had an echo done, and it showed grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if this is something serious. Should I see a cardiologist about it, or is it a common finding that's usually not a big deal?
It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Treatment may include lifestyle modifications and medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril (5-20mg once daily) or ARBs like Losartan (25-100mg once daily) to help improve heart function and symptoms. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your condition.
