I'm dealing with chest pain and heaviness for about 2 years now, and Montair FX helps, but if I stop taking it, the symptoms come right back. Plus, I get side effects like stomach gas from it. What should I do? Is there a way to stop using Montair FX, or maybe there's another option I can consider?

View allI'm a bit worried because my recent ECG shows a shortened PR interval of 107 ms, and my 2D echo indicates it's 200 GM. I've been diagnosed with mild LVH and currently take Revelol XL 50 and Newtel 20. I'm curious about the risks of having a PR interval less than 120 ms. Do you think I should get more tests?
The PR interval on your ECG report being lower than 120 ms indicates a shortened PR range. This can be a sign of an underlying heart condition. Considering you have mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and are currently taking Revelol XL 50 (Metoprolol) and Newtel 20 (Telmisartan), it is important to monitor your heart health closely. To address the risk of a shortened PR interval, it is advisable to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation. Additional tests such as a Holter monitor, stress test, or cardiac MRI may be recommended to assess your heart function more comprehensively. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action based on your individual health status.

I'm looking for some advice because my total cholesterol level is 235, and I really want to get it under 200. What can I do to lower it? Ive attached my report for more details. Can you help me out?
To lower your total cholesterol from 235 mgdL to below 200 mgdL, it's essential to adopt lifestyle changes and possibly medication. Dietary changes include reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing fiber intake from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, and incorporating healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish. Regular exercise, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, and maintaining a healthy weight are also important. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake. If lifestyle changes are insufficient, your doctor may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medications like statins. Consult your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan and discuss whether medication is necessary.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty in June, and after that, he started having blood clots in his hand and thighs. The doctor thought it might be because of high dosage meds, so they reduced his mg, but now he's also been having blood coming from his mouth quite often. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
The blood coming from your father's mouth could be due to a side effect of the medications he is taking. One common side effect of blood thinners, which are often prescribed after angioplasty to prevent blood clots, is bleeding. I would recommend consulting with the doctor again to discuss this new symptom. It is important to monitor his medication dosage and ensure it is appropriate for him. Additionally, the doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to help reduce the risk of bleeding from the mouth.
