It's understandable to feel concerned when experiencing discomfort in your chest area. Symptoms like pain or pressure could indicate various conditions, including angina. It's essential to consult a cardiologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend tests such as an ECG, stress test, or echocardiogram. These can help determine the cause of your symptoms. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures, depending on the diagnosis. Discuss financial concerns with your doctor, as many clinics offer sliding scale fees or payment plans.

My father diagnosed with major blocks in heart artery .....Need 2nd opinion about bypass surgery...Also Is it possible to cure by pranayam?

Hello Vishal, Bypass surgery (CABG) is the choice of treatment in case of your father. Kindly consult a cardiologist who on complete evaluation of the patient will suggest you the entire line of treatment. Yoga is good to keep a person fit but there is no documentation of pranayam curing major heart blockage. It is advised to consult a cardiologist and take a wise decision. Hope my answer helps you.

Low BP and on spironilactone for acne. BP was 99/60 on Monday. Today at 6:30am, it was 89/54 and at 7pm today it was 95/58. Have off and on nausea.

Female | 21

You seem to experience issues with hypotension and nausea. Spironolactone, a medication you take, can decrease blood pressure. When blood pressure declines excessively, dizziness and sickness may occur. Stay hydrated by consuming ample fluids. Additionally, opt for frequent small meals. If symptoms persist, consult your cardiologist promptly for guidance.

Hello, my doctor prescribed me high blood pressure medication for my insomnia and I seen somewhere where it’s dangerous to take high blood pressure medicine without actually having it And I’m wondering if it will effect me

Female | 19

High bp medication is usually not prescribed if your bp is normal. The medication lowers bp and if its already normal, it can cause your bp to drop too low, which can lead to complications such as dizziness or fainting. In some cases medications used to treat high bp may also have sedative or calming effects, which is why your doctor may have prescribed it for your insomnia.

Your friend's coughing after heart surgery could signal fluid around the lungs. This is sometimes seen as the body responds to the procedure. Immobility post-op may have led to a blood clot forming. It's important to get medical care promptly. Contact your friend's cardiologist right away for an evaluation and proper treatment.

Based on your description, it is likely that you are experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. This can be caused by poor posture or muscle strain. However, since you have already consulted with multiple doctors and the symptoms continue to persist, it is recommended that you visit a specialist such as a cardiologist or pulmonologist to rule out any underlying cardiovascular or respiratory conditions.
