My mother-in-law had a stent procedure about 10 days ago, and she's been experiencing fever and chills on and off. Is this something to be concerned about?
Fever and chills after a stent procedure could be a sign of infection. It is important to monitor her closely and contact her healthcare provider immediately. She may need antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg to treat the infection. The dosage would typically be 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days.

I'm really worried about what my doctor mentioned in my last appointment. He said something about my heart working at only 25%, and I'm not sure what that means. Is he correct? What should I do next?
The doctor's assessment of your heart functioning at 25% is indicative of a condition known as heart failure. In such cases, medications like Carvedilol (Coreg) at a starting dose of 3.125 mg twice daily can be prescribed to help improve heart function and symptoms. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) at a starting dose of 2.5-5 mg once daily can also be beneficial in managing heart failure. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan.
