I'm a bit worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Diabetes and Hypertension for about 12 years now, and shes been taking medications to keep them in check. Since last November, she started on Ecosprin AV 7520 daily. I'm kind of concerned about if there are any side effects from taking it every day and whether its necessary to have Aspirin free intervals?

No need to stop medications , all the medications are to be continued including ecosprin.

I've just gotten my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried because my HDL cholesterol level is pretty low at 29 mgdl. Plus, my TCHDL cholesterol ratio is 5.2. Could you tell me what this means and how I might improve these numbers?
Low HDL cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart disease. To improve your HDL cholesterol levels and lower your TCHDL cholesterol ratio, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your cholesterol levels.
