My mom recently had an angioplasty done for two of her blocked arteries, and now she's showing some signs that make me worry there might be more blockages. Is there a way to check for blockages without having to go through another angiography? Would really appreciate your advice on this.

can undergo a CT angiography to detect any further blockage without going through another angiography. It is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed images of the blood vessels. The doctor may prescribe medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is important to monitor her condition.

View allI'm 49 years old and have been taking amlopin 2.5 for about 5 months now. My blood pressure is usually around 13585, and even though my ECG is normal, I've been feeling some unusual symptoms. Sometimes it feels like my heart is racing or beating irregularly, and I'm worried it might be causing arrhythmia or tachycardia. Can amlopin lead to this kind of fast heartbeat? Should I be concerned or look into this further?
no

I'm feeling really hot after eating a big meal like chicken fried rice, even when I'm in air conditioning. Could this be connected to my blood pressure medication? I'm quite worried. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Can be a common reaction due to the spices used in the dish. However, if you are feeling excessively hot even in an air-conditioned environment and you are on blood pressure medication, it could be related to your medication. Some blood pressure medications can cause side effects such as flushing or feeling hot. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you experience persistent symptoms.

I'm dealing with sinusitis for the last 4 years, and it's mostly my right side that's blocked with a lot of mucus and sometimes a whitish liquid comes out. It also causes headaches and a feeling of heaviness on that side. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to get the COVID vaccine given these issues?
No you can not take covid vaccine until your cold and headache subsides.
