Since the past two days have been having some weird pressure and deep burning ache in my neck and jaw- I was also having occasional chest pressure, but I knew it was due to GERD but this neck n jaw issue is new
I consulted my regular cardiologist, who did ECG, echo and some blood test, which were completely normal - I also have a history of a normal invasivea angiogram done a year ago
He gave me medicines for GRD and dysphasia mentioning that GERD issues can present in several atypical ways
But my mind remains fixed on cardiac side - since all the investigations have been done, I don't know if I should go for any other test

Recently she was diagnosed with blockage after she experienced chest and back pain. Initially we thought it was gas pain. Now I do not have the details of medicine prescribed by cardiologist but can I give oxygen from oxy99 can if she is breathless? Can I give her cherry and beetroot in daily diet? Doctor has said that 95% blockage after echo. Is it possible to say so? What course of action and diet do you advice?
EECP vs Better Non-Surgical Options: 61F Post-Pulmonary Edema (TVD, 42% EF)
61F. Frail/thin. Hospitalized last week for 1st time with acute pulmonary edema (now resolved). Currently stable: lungs clear, SpO2 98%, Pulse 82-85, FBS 155, PPBS 198. Has intense thirst and fragmented sleep.
Angiogram: Severe TVD. LMCA 30-40% stenosis; LAD total occlusion (filling via active collaterals); Distal LCX 90-95% stenosis; RCA total occlusion (retrograde filling). Surgeons advised against CABG/PCI due to frailty; recommended medical management as collaterals are compensating.
2D Echo: EF 42%, mild PAH, multiple hypokinetic LV segments. Chambers/IVC normal.
Meds: Axcer 90mg BID, Aspirin AV 75/40, Bisoprolol 1.25mg, Angispan 2.6mg, Oxra 10mg, Tab Leni 40mg (1.5 tabs/day). NovoRapid (10-10-8) + Lantus (10u at 10 PM). Strict 1L fluid limit, zero-salt diet.
Questions:
Can EECP safely mature her collaterals, or does increased venous return risk re-inducing pulmonary edema so soon?
