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?

View allI'm a bit concerned because my doctor has put me on Lipitas 10 (Rosuvastatin) to take at night, along with Sartel LN (Telmisartan 40) and Cilnidipine. I stumbled across some info that mentioned a serious drug interaction between Cilnidipine and Lipitas. Is that something I should be worried about?
Prolonged use of clinidipine 10 mg can cause hypotension ,that is a serious side effect. whereas telma causes sinus congestion,tachycardia,changes in vision, large ives and fainting etc.. Both telma and clinidepine are recommended for the control of BP.,You can continue taking the medications..

I'm really worried about my dad. He doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack, but his cholesterol and triglyceride levels are pretty high. His total cholesterol is at 251 mgdl, triglycerides at 625 mgdl, HDL is 46 mgdl and LDL is 110 mgdl. Do you think lifestyle changes could help bring these numbers down, or should we be considering surgery like some people have suggested? I'm really unsure about what direction we should take.
With those cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lifestyle modifications are definitely the first step in managing the situation. Your dad should focus on a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. Surgery is usually considered only when lifestyle changes and medications are not effective in controlling cholesterol levels or if there are other significant risk factors present. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of his condition

I'm experiencing some persistent chest pain, and it's been going on for over two months now. It feels like a pinching pain right in the middle of my chest, but sometimes it shifts to the right or left side. There are also times when my heart starts beating really fast. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT done, and all the results came back normal. I'm still feeling this pain and it's quite unsettling. Could you help me figure out what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?
it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of non-cardiac chest pain. Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, the chest pain may not be related to your heart. One common cause of such symptoms could be acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the chest pain. Additionally, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. It's also important to avoid trigger foods like spicy, fatty, or acidic foods. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider if the symptoms continue."
