Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 37 years old. Last year, when I was working, I had a restless feeling in my heart. So I left my work on that day and went back home. My pain got increased, and I immediately reached the hospital. After an hour, I got admitted to CCU, and I was there for five days. I had a blockage in one valve. I underwent angiography and PCI. Now, I am taking Plavix 75 mg, Ascard 150 mg, Concor 5 mg, and Treatan 8 mg. Now, I am getting improved, and I am taking diet food. But I still have restlessness in my chest, and when I move, my legs and hands hang up. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You had coronary heart disease at a young age, and PCI (percutaneous intervention) was done immediately. Now you have to be very careful in this regard because those with a coronary artery disease have a further risk. First of all, reduce your risk factors. Avoid smoking, or any other addiction if you have. Reduce taking salt in your diet, avoid taking fast food and junk food. Remain active, and do an exercise of moderate intensity. Check your fasting lipid profile and do renal function test soon with electrolytes. Never miss your medicines. Do echocardiography and have a follow-up. After all, that, consult a good cardiologist so that you may be guided accordingly to reduce future risk. Coming to your complaint of having chest discomfort, I advise you do an ECG. If it is normal, then ETT (exercise tolerance test) is done in which you have to walk on a graded ramp and simultaneously your ECG and BP is recorded. If your symptoms are due to heart, then you will have ECG changes.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
