My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?

View allI 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'm noticing that my heart rate sits between 85 to 105 when I'm just resting. I had an ECG done and my doctor mentioned I have sinus tachycardia, but thankfully no arrhythmia. I'm kind of worried, thoughdoes this mean I'm at risk for a heart attack or maybe a brain stroke? I'm only 19, so I'm not sure what to think.
In your case, since you are 19 years old and your ECG shows sinus tachycardia without arrhythmia, the chances of heart attack or stroke are very low at your age. To help manage your sinus tachycardia, you can try relaxation techniques, avoid stimulants like caffeine, and ensure you are well-hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider beta-blocker medications like Metoprolol at a low dose under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

So I've been having this cough for the last couple of days and it's making my heart race and flutter, even when I'm trying to sleep. I got some tests done like an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray back in March. Should I be doing all those tests again? Every time I cough, it feels like my heart is either trying to jump out or like it's getting all tight, and it's really freaking me out. There's also this pain now and then, plus twitching in my feet and neck, and it's making me super anxious about my health. Is Benadryl syrup gonna help with all this? I'm also burping a lot, and my heart feels like it's pounding out of my chest. With all those tests coming back normal before, Im just wondering if I need to repeat them. And while I'm at it, what exactly is the main reason people get heart attacks? It's been like this since February, and I'm feeling really low and freaked out. My blood pressure is usually 11090 and my pulse is often above 100. I'm 25, by the way. Any ideas what's up with all this?
The fluttering and pounding sensation in your heart could be related to the increased pulse rate and coughing. Given your history of normal tests in March, it may be beneficial to consult with a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Benadryl syrup may help with some symptoms, but it is important to address the underlying cause. Considering your symptoms and history, it is advisable to try a combination of medications. You can take Benadryl syrup for cough relief and consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg for burping. Additionally, you can take Propranolol 10mg for heart palpitations. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication. The main reason for a heart attack can be due to various factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, lack of physical activity, and stress. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart attacks, especially at a young age. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.
