My dad, who's 69, had some pretty serious chest pain last week. An ECG showed something wasn't right and his angiography results mentioned artery blockages at 90%, 80%, and 70%. He's now on medication, but I'm really concerned. What does this all mean for his health, and are there other treatments we should consider to address these blockages?

It sounds like your father is experiencing significant heart issues with the reported artery blockages. To help manage the condition and prevent further complications, it is crucial for him to continue with the prescribed medications. One common medication that is often used in such cases is Atorvastatin, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related events. Additionally, medications like Aspirin can be beneficial in preventing blood clots and improving blood flow through the blocked arteries. It is important for your father to follow the dosage instructions provided by his healthcare provider and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress. In some cases, additional interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be recommended. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are also essential in managing his condition.

I've been feeling my heartbeat really easily, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I've gone through all the checkups, including wearing a Holter monitor, and everything came back normal. But I still feel my heart, and sometimes it feels like there's a crushing sensation in my chest. What can I do to stop this from happening?
