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?

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol level being at 300. Do you think I can manage it through exercise and controlling my diet, or is it likely that I'll need to rely on medication?
High cholesterol levels can often be managed through lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. However, in some cases, medication may also be necessary to effectively control cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise such as brisk walking or jogging for at least 30 minutes a day, and following a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. If after a few months of lifestyle changes your cholesterol levels remain high, then medication such as Atorvastatin (20mg once daily) may be prescribed to help lower your cholesterol levels.

My blood pressure wasn't under control on Cardivas, but it's been stable with Nebicard 5, and I haven't noticed any side effects. Currently, my blood pressure reads 12581 on the Omron 7120 machine.
