View allI'm really concerned about my mom who's dealing with a lot of health issues like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. Her doctor has prescribed quite a few meds like Dytor, Monit GTN, Orfer XT, Planep, Cardace, Rosucor, Ecosprin, Pantocid, and even insulin and the duolin inhaler. Now, she's been given tryptomer 10 mg, and I'm worried about whether it's really safe for someone with heart failure to take this. Can you help shed some light on this for me?
yes tryptomer should not be taken since the medicine is contra-indicated.Kindly stop tab tryptomer tablet is advised.

I'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?
Your present echocardiogram is normal, previous report may reflect your clinical condition on that time. At present your reports are within normal limits.
