Hello, We've visited one of the top cardiologist in Bangalore who has recommend that a bypass is not necessary based on the angiogram report. The same cardiologist had successfully operated earlier, where a stenting was done. However, my brother in law who is a doctor and based out of Canada has a different opinion (based on the report and the advice from his friend (cardiologist) who thinks and is certain that a bypass is necessary within the next 2-3 weeks. We have 2 extremely contrasting opinions. We would like to get a second opinion from a cardiologist is Bangalore. Please recommend. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Regards, Kiranp

As per my understanding you are having two different opinions by two cardiologist regarding the treatment of your patient, so the confusion has arise, but to decide what is a best treatment of patient, clinical examination matters a lot, along with evaluation of reports. Therefore you can always take one more opinion from another cardiologist, who will examine your patient, asses their clinical condition, consider other comorbidities, their general health, and evaluate the older treatment, as well as decide what will be the best. Please be free to take advice from a cardiologist who clear all your doubts - Best Cardiologists in Bangalore. Hope this helps you.

Perhaps your muscle strain caused the soreness, or maybe acid reflux triggered heartburn. However, chest pain could signify heart troubles too. When you experience tightness, pressure, or pain there, relax undisturbed. Yet if symptoms worsen rapidly, see a cardiologist right away.

I am some problem in my chest

Male | 25

There could be many reasons for this. Sometimes it's just a case of indigestion or heartburn caused by eating too fast or consuming foods that don't agree with us. Another frequent reason is acid reflux, characterized by a burning feeling in the chest. Stress or anxiety might also be considerations since they can sometimes affect the chest. Eating smaller meals more often and avoiding fatty, spicy foods is advisable. If the matter persists seek medical help to rule out anything serious.

Hello, Can I ask if what should I do if my mom's blood pressure didn't go lower than 170/70. She's a dialysis patient. But since last night, her bp is 180/60 or 190/70.

It occurs when pressure builds inside blood vessels. There could be several causes – stress, kidney disease, or not adhering to the dialysis routine. Unchecked, it can lead to heart strain, even damage arteries. You should promptly alert your mom's doctors. They might alter medications or propose lifestyle changes.
