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 allRespect sir, Ive been dealing with the effects of the second wave of COVID and was on steroids. Im a bit on the heavier side, weighing 140 kgs, and I have a fear of heart issues. While I dont have any diagnosed heart problems, I get really anxious whenever I see stuff about heart issues on TV or my phone. Sometimes I experience pain in my right hand, and although my ECG results are normal, it worries me. Should I be considering a TMT test, or is there another test I should look into for peace of mind?
Based on your symptoms and concerns, it would be advisable for you to undergo a TMT (Treadmill Stress Test) to assess your heart's function and detect any potential issues related to your chest pain and fear of heart problems. Additionally, considering your weight and fibromyalgia condition, it would be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Hey there doc, I'm a 38-year-old guy working in software, and I've noticed something strange lately. My resting heart rate used to be between 60-65 bpm when I'd check it after waking up, and that's when I was working out regularly. I was doing weight training five days a week focusing on different muscle groups each day. But ever since the lockdown and not being able to hit the gym for about two months, I've seen my resting heart rate drop to 50-55 bpm. It's weird because I thought it'd go the other way around without my workouts. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about or is it normal? What's happening here?
it's great that you are monitoring your resting heart rate regularly. A decrease in resting heart rate can be a normal response to regular exercise and improved cardiovascular fitness. Since you have stopped your weight training routine for the past 2 months due to the lockdown, it is expected to see a decrease in your resting heart rate. However, if you are not experiencing any other symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate of 50-55 bpm is generally considered normal for physically active individuals. I recommend staying physically active with alternative home workouts or activities to maintain your cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, ensure you are getting adequate rest and managing stress levels. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and evaluation

My mom's blood pressure was 130200 even though she's been taking her Zilarata medication. One doctor gave her half a medication, and then she relaxed, and her BP went down to 100145. But now it's at 120180. Do you think it's okay if I give her a BP win tablet?
