View allI've recently had a CT angiogram done and I'm a bit worried. Are there any side effects I should be aware of related to the heart? Could you provide some guidance on what to expect afterward? I'm open to any advice you might have.
CT angiograms are generally safe procedures with minimal side effects. However, some potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the contrast dye used, kidney problems in patients with pre-existing kidney issues, and radiation exposure. It is important to stay hydrated after the procedure to help flush the contrast dye out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe allergic reactions, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm really worried because my dad had a heart attack yesterday. After he got an injection, he seemed better, but today, we went to another hospital for an angiogram. They found two blockages that are over 80% and now theyre saying he needs angioplasty. I'm really wondering, what happens if we dont go through with the angioplasty? Are there other options we could consider? And is there any way we can try to clear the blockages naturally from home?
If the blockages in the coronary arteries are more than 80%, it is crucial to address them to prevent further complications such as another heart attack or even death. If angioplasty is not performed, the blockages can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and in severe cases, a heart attack. The main alternative to angioplasty for severe blockages is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, where a healthy blood vessel is used to bypass the blocked artery. However, the decision between angioplasty and CABG depends on various factors and should be discussed with the treating cardiologist. As for natural ways to remove blockages at home, it is important to note that while lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and not smoking can help prevent further blockages, they may not remove existing severe blockages. It is always best to follow the medical advice of your healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment in this situation.

I'm trying to find a 7.5 mg tablet of Warf for my brother but no pharmacy seems to have it. Is it okay if he takes a 5 mg and a 2 mg tablet together instead? I'm not sure what to do, and it's a bit worrying. Can you help?
nothing will happen to take.
