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 64 and have been dealing with some wheezing and trouble breathing, so I went to see the doctor. They did an ECG, and it came back showing sinus tachycardia and a right bundle branch block. Is this something I should be worried about?
Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.

When I lie down and then get up to walk, I experience a heavy feeling or difficulty in breathing for about 2 to 3 minutes. I also notice a heaviness in my upper abdomen during this time. After those few minutes, I feel normal again. I've had an X-ray, CT scan, ECG, and a 2D echo, and all the results came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or am I just overthinking it?

I'm a bit worried because about a month ago I started having constant chest pain and it spread to my left shoulder and hand. I got a general checkup and found out my blood pressure was 160100, but my ECG and 2D echo and sugar levels were normal. They did say my triglycerides and uric acid were high, and I have a fatty liver, so I've been on a strict diet for three months, cutting out salt and doing regular walks. After 10 days, my blood pressure dropped to 12080, which I guess is good! My dad and grandpa had heart issues, so I'm a bit concerned if it's hereditary. Right now, Im on Telma 40 and Concor 5mg but since my blood pressure is normal, Im not sure if I should continue with these meds. Also, my left shoulder and chest still hurt. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really confused right now.
