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 experiencing chest pain in the middle, and sometimes it feels like a pulsing sensation. It just started yesterday. Should I be worried about this? What could it mean?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart problems, muscle strain, or digestive issues. Since chest pain can be a symptom of a serious condition, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the chest pain is severe or persistent, it is crucial to seek immediate medical help.

I'm getting ready for my aviation medical, and I had an ECG done. The report showed ST segment elevation in the anterior, large T waves, and it said "borderline ECG." I'm 20 years old, weigh 82kg, and I'm 176cm tall. Should I be worried about any of these findings? What do they really mean, especially with my age and size?
Based on the ECG findings of ST segment elevation (anterior), large T wave, and borderline ECG, along with your age, weight, and height, it is important to further evaluate these findings. These ECG changes could indicate various conditions such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericarditis, or other cardiac issues. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity and follow a heart-healthy diet. Medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers may be prescribed based on further evaluation by your cardiologist.
