Question 1

I'm a 43-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some chest pain, so I had an echocardiogram done. They found grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. My blood pressure's been a bit off too; usually, the systolic pressure is between 120 and 126, but the diastolic is always around 90 to 96. I've also been taking Roseday 10mg for a few months since my LDL cholesterol was slightly above the borderline. I'm really curious if I should be on any medication for my blood pressure and if I should be concerned about this diastolic dysfunction thing. Does it get worse over time?

Accepted Answer

Consider medication for high diastolic BP, especially since its consistently elevated.
Continue your current medication (Roseday) for cholesterol management, but ensure your BP is addressed as well.
Be proactive about lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and stress management.
Regularly monitor your heart function and consult your cardiologist for any necessary adjustments.

Accepted Answer

"Based on your symptoms of sudden chest pain and left leg pain, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack or blood clot. However, if the pain is intermittent and not severe, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. I recommend taking Tablet Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for chest and leg pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any strenuous activities until the pain subsides."

Accepted Answer

The doctor may prescribe a combination of medications to help manage the blockage in the arteries. This may include: 1. Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) - 20mg once daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. Aspirin - 75mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow through the arteries. 3. Clopidogrel (brand name Plavix) - 75mg once daily to further prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of complications. 4. Ramipril (brand name Altace) - 2.5mg once daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. It is important to take these medications as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and management.
