I've been recommended to have a wisdom tooth pulled because it has long roots and is near a nerve (and artery?). I'm living in South Korea so it's hard to understand exactly whats up. If this is the case, is this an emergency or could I wait 6 months until I'm back in the USA to clear it up.

Hello there, First of all let me assure you that whenever any doctor inspects a patient, he or she will usualy recommends a procedure which is in the best interest of the patient on a longer run, this is also known as an ethical approach & practice(This totally depends on the doctors practice, individually). Secondly as you have mentioned there is no pain in the wisdom tooth, there may not be an immediate nerve involvement for that tooth but there is a certain possibility ...

After drinking ice cold water I begin to experience short of breath. About a month ago in October, I had coronary bypass artery surgery. What is this happening?

Hard to unswer exactly, because it can have several reasons. As usually cold weather causes vasospasm of heart vessels and some anginal symptoms, including shortness of breath, theoritically we can consider the same thing here.

Cold water can also cause bronchoconstriction and hense-shortness of breath. I would advice you to ...

My father is 53 yrs old. He had been diagnosed with Coronary artery disease ,TMT positive,Diabetes Mellitus CT Coronary Angiogram showed High calcium score,Single Branch Vessel disease.His heart was said to be very healthy so far. A 100% blockage and 80% blockage of the arteries had been detected and collateral ways have been formed.He has not faced any symptoms of Angina so far.At the long run , anything can happen which is very sure.Could you please suggest what should be done - Bypass or Angioplasty and is it an emergency which needs to be right away?

blockage more then 75% has to be opened according to American and European recomendations. The thing that collaterals are formed and he doesn't have symptoms, on the one hand is good, it's not an amergency situatuon, but on the other hand as some diabetics can't feel pain as hard as healthy people, the real clinical picture can hide and so better not to loose time!.

My Uncle has suffered a severe heart attack on Sunday. He is 69 years of age. He was admitted to Nanavati Hospital at 9.30 pm. Angiography was performed at 11.30 pm and there were three blocks detected in the arteries. The % of blocks were 100%, 90% and 70% respectively. Angioplasty was performed on the artery which had 100% block. The angioplasty was successfully. We would like to seek your opinion on the remaining further treatment. We would like to seek your appointment. Kindly give your appointment.

More then 75% stenosis (block) is indication for angioplasty according to American and European reccomendations. So I would reccomend you to do immediate angioplasty of the vessel which has 90% block. As for 70% block, he needs carefull monitoring of his heart, that means to take all prescribed medications on time (because medications decrease the risk of complications and improve patient's health), to visit cardiologist periodically, but if he has some cardiologic symptoms such as chest pain, s ...
