Cardiologist
Dr. Lena Okoye
MBBS, fellowship training in cardiovascular medicine
Dr. Okoye spends her clinics on the questions that sit between “I feel fine” and “something is not right.” People bring her high readings, a family history of early heart disease, chest tightness on hills, ankle swelling, or a flutter that arrives at night and vanishes by morning.
She begins with the story and the medicine list, then decides whether a tracing, a blood panel, or a simple walking test will actually change the plan. She is careful not to order a test that cannot answer the question in the room.
How a visit with her works
You will be asked when symptoms started, what you were doing, and what made them ease. If you track home blood pressure, bring the range rather than a single best number. She will talk through cholesterol results in terms of the next year of risk, not only the laboratory flag.
If a medicine is started, she explains the effect you should notice, the effect you should not expect, and the side effects that mean you should write back before the next visit. Follow-up is scheduled before you finish, so the plan has a date on it.
Focus
- Blood pressure that stays high despite a tidy routine
- Cholesterol and family risk
- Palpitations and suspected rhythm change
- Breathlessness and reduced stamina
- Heart advice before a planned operation
Dr. Okoye does not manage emergency chest pain through this website. Sudden crushing pain, fainting, or severe breathlessness needs emergency services straight away.
