On 3 Sep 2016, when I came from office, I felt am anxious, having palpitation as if heart is beating fast and with more force than normal. I thought that I might have high b.p. I measured using electronic B.P machine multiple times it was in range of 150/100. I thought digital b.p machine may not be accurate so went to a clinic nearby. The reading was in the same range. When I came back from home started thinking I might have some heart problem. Soon after heart was racing and went upto 110 bpm and B.P shoot up to 160/110 in home b.p machine. I got scared as I have heard and read that high bp could lead to stroke.
more..I recommend Dr. Ruchir Dubey. My experience was positive and I would suggest others consult him as well.

I have been doing treatment of gastro problems from last 4 - 5 months, but have not got much relief, which in turn makes me to feel like I have heart problem as I momentarily get Chest pain, rapid pulse, breathlessness, etc. I asked my gastro doctor and internal medicine doctor that if I might have heart problem. They just say all ok or will get ok and give medicines without explanation why I am having these problems. I was doubtful, scared of getting heart attack, stressed, etc.

We brought our father Mr KM Gupta, 80 yrs from Bhopal for the treatment of Angina pain. There was some complication and the angioplasty with rota ablation procedure is not available in whole MP, including Bhopal and Indore. Dr Chandra considered our problem and circumstances and immediately performed Rota procedure. In absence of Rota or in case of its failure, we would have left with only option of By -Pass surgery. In general we do not want papa to under go surgery at the age of 80 yrs.
