If chest pain or breathlessness occurs than you consult cardiologist. If collateral supply is sufficient as per cardiologist post angiography than its ok. Medications will be life long.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam the information given is so scanty about both the persons, so it is difficult to comment. As regards taking apple cider vinegar a lot of benefits are claimed. But nothing is clinically proven. There are no definite clinical trial reports to say these are the definite benefits.
Most important for your parents is to first control blood glucose effectively with appropriate diet, regular exercise and restricted diet along with medication advised.

treat the root cause and not the disease or symptoms you need to get a comprehensive blood test with all inflammatory markers, vitamin and mineral levels to find out your overall health status and not do tests only focused on the disease you have I cannot diagnose or treat what I cannot see the medical history you have provided is not enough take a consultation for finding the root cause .generalized advice does not work.

My father`s (65 years age) angioplasty was done in 2017. From the last 6 months he had stopped all the medicines. Recently his bp shoot up to 170/120 around. We consulted a cardiologist and he suggested few blood tests along with stress echo (tmt). We got all the tests done and he has also started taking medicines again. Now bp is getting back to normal. However his blood reports shows increase in uric acid (7.7), rbc count 4.22, mch 33.40, basophilic 0.40. His stress echo test is negative for inducible myocardial ischemia. Findings of stress echo are: fair exercise tolerance, st segment depression seen inlead ii, iii avf during exercise and persisting in recovery periodperiod, no symptoms of angina, normal heart rate and bp response, frequent vpcs, bigeminy and pair noted during test and one short episode of af noted during exercise. Doctor has advised angiography. My questions are: 1. Is angiography recommend after seeing this tmt report? We are little reluctant because last time during angioplasty he contracted sepsis. And moreover the tmt report is also negative. 2.can angiography be done with the current levels of uric acid which is 7.7? 3. Is the tmt report and its findings are cause of concern or it is ok? 4. What about other findings in cbc which I mentioned earlier like rbc. Mch and basophilic. Thanks.

Tmt shows st- t changes which are persisting and episode of af and frequent vpc which i’m not a good sign, it can’t be called normal angiography is recommended to rule out further progression of disease
cbc findings are not very unusual uric acid 7.7 is not a contraindication for angiography.
