I have chest pain angina hurting sneezing muscle
Universe will know all the good that you are doing to all of us. Thank you
I have 52 to 59 while resting. Im at the age 26yrsold. Not that fit. But i do workout atleast 2 times in a week, im from philippines, don't have any symptoms. Just going crazy because of this causing my anxiety sky rocket high.
Good day doc im alexis from asia philippines can i ask coz i had diagnosed mitral valve prolapse wid mild reguration, congenital heart disease enlargement and atrial fabrilation. dilated left and right. wid ejection fraction 70 percent samson. im 33yrs old im in anxiety panik atak. thank you doc. wat is your advise for me. i cannt aford to had surgery.. but in Prayers to GOD all things are posibol miracle healing to my heart
I have a pacemaker and I’ve had it since 2020 and I’ve been doing great with no issues I can feel it pacing at time but other than that I’m doing great
36 years old. When i go for a light jog, i get a pain on lower left chest/top of abdomen. If i stop running it goes away instantly, like witnin 5 seconds. Im freaking out...
Sir my mom BP is 240 by 100......we took advice from Dr. Cardiology....... He said there is swelling in heart..... She is taking medicine but it becomes normal BP..... And after 1 or 2 days again 200 blood pressure plz advice me
That blood pressure is very high. I suspect that the cardiologist is stating that the heart is thickened/ enlarged secondary to the high blood pressure. Treating the blood pressure, and starting appropriate medications will certainly help your mother's heart.
Sir i fell down in flor in duty time. Left side paining and breathing problem sir. I have done two times x ray. Xray is normal. Sir.
Your doctor might need to perform more tests to find out the cause of the fall, and the effects of the fall on the chest and heart. Chest X-ray on its own might not be sufficient.
Sir me srijana. Before 3 month I have problem in bteathing.
A question please doctor answer to me. My husband has been found with a 50% blockage of a stent that was fitted in the left artery. They are suggesting a bypass but we find thisnoperation very invasive. Allmother arteries are fine, the muscle in the heart fine, evrrything else fine. Just this 50% blockage of the stent. They are not recommending stenting again. Why not? Please advice. Bless you.
Coronary arteries are generally not treated until the blockage is about 70%. I suggest that you ask your doctor as to why he/she would like to treat a 50% blocked artery.
@@DoctorBoladCardiology first of all thank you so much for replying and taking your time, it speaks volume about you. They are saying that because is on the main stem left artery is high risk. I saw the angiogram and it did look like more than 50%. Another cardiologist, with whom I had an informal conversation and saw the report, told me that he agreed with the bypass procedure and that my husband with his condition would have otherwise a great chance of dying within a year.
can we take a patient with 14% EF currently being treated with medication on a 14 hour flight? life vest from zolls is available for the patient while on the plane as a precaution. is the life vest needed or the flight aed should be sufficient to manage any adverse events
The condition you are describing depends on may factors. Your doctor who knows your condition well would be the best person to advise you.
Dr is it risky for the patients life when angio is being done for 100percenrt blockage
This depends on the skill of the operator, and the volume the operator performs to open these 100% blocked arteries. Generally, the risk is higher for 100% blocked arteries.
Sir my mid lad 99 and RI is 99 what should i do .And i am dibetic
This depends on different factors as described in my video.
Ugh
I would love for u to help me
Chest pain symptoms need to be invetsigated. I recommend that you check with your doctor to be examined and evaluated.
Hi I also have been experiencing chest pain it doesn't hurt every time but it starts hurting after one week or four to two days
Chest pain symptoms need to be invetsigated. I recommend that you check with your doctor to be examined and evaluated.
God bless good cardiologists. Had 80% blockage and a stent. Blessing to all.
Glad that the procedure helped you.
Today my father go to take this will every thing will be fine I am so feared 😖
What is the difference between vvir pacemakers and dddr pace maker?
The DDD paces and senses the atria and ventricles.
Best video online for Angina information.
Happy to help
Dr Bolad I can’t take aspirin as it causes pain in the stomach. If I can’t have stent, what options do I have? 75 years, diabetic, ckd, 70% stenosis of mid LAD. Symptomatic with chest pressure. RCA not done as it was difficult to infuse the RCA due to aberrant location. What are my options?
Your doctor will need to discuss with you the options including possibly bypass surgery. The RCA can be evaluated possibly by CT angiogram.
Hello doctor, my dad has a severe mr, mild ar and grade 3 diastolic dysfunction with increasing filling pressure and irregular heartbeats but his electrolytes test results were normal, he had ectopic beats 3months ago he had a ischemic stroke and currently he's suffering from transcortical sensor aphasia. We're in medications but these problems have never been decreased or reversed. Our cardiologist said that we'll wait 3 more months whether if it's possible to reverse all these conditions by medications or else we'll go for an Angio or CBAG. My question is can we wait for another 3months or can we go for an angiogram immediately to see the condition of CAD?
Generally an angio / cardiac catheterization will be needed just before surgery, to get more information on whether more work/ coronary bypass will be needed when the valve is being fixed. Having said that, the doctor following your father knows his clinical condition well, and he is the best person to advise you as to when to pursue the cardiac catheterization.
LM: NORMAL LAD, PROXIMAL 80% STENOSIS, FOLLOWED BY MIDSEGMENT CRITICAL SUBTOAL OCCLUSION WITH GOOD DISTAL FLOW LCX: MIDSEGMENT 80% BIFURACTION LESION (1:1:0) MEDINA WITH GOOD DISTAL FLOW RCA: MIDSEGMENT TIGHT LESION WITH GOOD DISTAL FLOW
This is what we call three vessel disease, meaning there are blockages in the three main arteries of the heart.
What's your advice in this scenario?
Stent or CABG
Generally, three vessel disease is managed by bypass surgery as I mentioned in the video. However, this depends on different factors nd sometimes stents are used. Your doctor will be the best person to advise you.
Please see my comments above.
Doctor Please read the below and give me advise please
Hi Dr Boland , lately I’m having palpitation,my B/P is 124/91 pulse is 90 should I be concerned.
I suggest that you check with your doctor to be examined, and possibly have a heart monitor to evaluate the cause of the palpitations. You can have more information about heart monitors by watching my video about the different types on the following link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoiXrcSCkruagMo.html

Severe Chest tightness after more than a year from bypass surgery ? Causes?

His doctor who knows his condition well, will be the best person to provide advise.
Can a dead body's heart pacemaker be used in another patient's body, in the country like India, where economic condition of several patients is very poor?

For patients with heart stents and similar symptoms, I suggest that you get checked by your doctor.
@@DoctorBoladCardiologydr feel better now, ab check krwana jruri h ya nhi ?
I am 74 years old, has ckd 3, diabetes type2, AIC 5.8. Can’t take aspirin as it irritates stomach. Has frequent chest pressure feelings, chemical stress test showed ischemia of R heart. Cardiologist said that this ischemia doesn’t affect heart function. Anglo of last year showed 70% narrowing of mid LAD. Dr is saying I am not a candidate for steering because I can’t take aspirin. I have pacemaker, on Eloquis. Does post CABG also require aspirin? What’s the next step for me?
There are different options for people in your situation. However you doctor who knows your medical condition well is the best person to advise you.

Undergone same heart procedures the last 2 months . Finding myself quite sound than before. Thanks Dr Bolad for sharing.

Your doctors are hero’s!! If you had a choice to have the stent placed through the wrist or Leg ? Choose the leg because the diameter of the wrist artery and leg artery is Quite different the leg artery is like a interstate compared to the wrist which is like a two lane road so when they send a stent catheter up your wrist it will hurt much worse then from the leg !!
Happy to help. Thanks for the comment.
If you have had both knees replaced does it matter if the groin is used? I am a very petite woman and have varicose veins in the front part of my lower legs.
That shouldn't be a problem.
How long one should take anticlotting tablet after stent operation
The recommendations is aspirin for life, and the other antiplatelet is generally for one year, but your doctor who performs the procedure would be the person to advise you about the duration of treatment.
What is reason for continous nausea
There are many reasons for continuous nausea, which can be related to the gastrointestinal system, the heart, other organs in addition to medications. I suggest that you check with your doctor to evaluate you thoroughly for the cause.
Thanks for the lecture sir!

Hello Dr Bolad. My brother is been diagnosed with enlarged heart and he's been sick for over 4 months. During that time he was vomiting every day and he still is. He's in hospital right now since 5th of May 2024. There are no changes in his conditions 😢 and he constantly losing hope. My question is, how long will it tak him to recover?
This generally depends on the cause of the enlarged heart. What has his doctor told you about the cause?
@@DoctorBoladCardiology I'm sorry I couldn't reply in time. Sad news is that he passed away two days later. The doctor told me the cause could've been the kidneys.
I am very sorry for your loss
