Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery

Health Q&A
Cardiologist help

Patient History: The patient is a post-operative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patient, approximately 1 year post-surgery. Recent Hospitalization: One week ago, she presented with acute nausea. She was admitted to the hospital where her original bypass surgery was performed. Over a 3-day admission, diagnostic workups including comprehensive blood tests were conducted, all of which reportedly returned within normal limits. She was subsequently discharged 2 days ago. ​Current Acute Symptoms: Within the last 24 hours (starting last night), the patient has developed new-onset neurological symptoms. These include a persistent tingling sensation ("pins and needles") and numbness localized to specific areas, including the periorbital region (around the eyes), the lips, and the head, which she describes as affecting her full body.

Good evening doctor, I am suffering from health anxiety and continuous bp checking. Last 5 days my wisdom teeth aches due to wrong feeling during this time I use muscle relaxant for chronic pain.

Cardiac fear

I am 28 years old and have been experiencing chest tightness, heaviness, and chest pain for a long time. These symptoms do not occur only during exercise. Sometimes they happen even when I am sitting or resting. The pain can be in the middle of the chest or on the left side, lasts a few seconds, and then goes away. Sometimes it is associated with left arm pain, sometimes not. I have had multiple TMTs and Echocardiograms over the years, all normal. CT Coronary Angiography done 3 years ago was normal. My latest TMT (2 months ago) was normal, and my latest Echo (3 months ago) was normal with EF 72%. Today I walked on a treadmill for 15 minutes (4.2 km/h, incline 3.5 for 6 min and incline 5 for 6 min). My heart rate reached 148 bpm, but I had no chest pain during exercise. Does this symptom pattern sound more cardiac or non-cardiac in nature considering the normal investigations? Can I feel it's non cardiac without repeating any tests now please suggest I am scared to the core

Increased heart palpitations

Since more than a week I was having this weird feeling in my chest or a small dull pain in between. Friday when I was coming back home I went to the ER because my heart rate increased, I was scared and my chest pain increased (left side of the chest). The doctors said the ecg does have a few changes but could be old or psychological too. Trop I test was 0.90 so they mentioned this could most probably be an anxiety attack so I was suggested to visit a cardio to get a review. I was suggested Pan 40 twice a day before food and Concor 2.5 after food twice a day. I stopped as per the 3 day course however I couldn't get the appointment for my cardiologist so I haven't been to the cardiologist yet. Today i smoked but when I was smoking while leaving I was told that smoking leads to increased palpitations and I guess my body panicked but my palpitations increased. I came home and had concor 2.5, my bp was 143/93 with heart rate of 102. Now my bp is 117/84 with 82 heart rate. Possible reason?
