I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really worried because my wife is 9 months pregnant and her recent test results showed something about tricuspid TR being mild to moderate and that her RA and RV are dilated. Does this indicate a serious problem? We're really not sure what to make of this and would appreciate any advice you might have.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and dilated right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) can be concerning during pregnancy, but the severity and management depend on various factors. It is important to follow up with your obstetrician and a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help with the heart condition. Your wife may be prescribed a medication like furosemide to reduce fluid retention and workload on the heart. The dosage will depend on her specific condition and should be determined by her healthcare provider. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the well-being of both your wife and the baby.

Can I take Ecosprin AV75 tablets even if I don't have heart pain? I'm 33 years old and wondering how long it's safe to use this medication, like maybe taking one tablet a day for a month. Is it okay to just stop after that? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Ecosprin AV75 is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is commonly used for heart health to prevent heart attacks and strokes. At your age of 33, if you do not have any specific heart condition or risk factors, it is not recommended to take Ecosprin AV75 as a preventive measure without consulting a doctor. If a doctor has prescribed Ecosprin AV75 for you, the duration of the treatment will depend on your individual health condition. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding how long to continue taking the medication. Typically, if it is prescribed for prevention, it may need to be taken for a longer duration than just one month. It is not advisable to stop taking Ecosprin AV75 abruptly without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation of Aspirin can have adverse effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment and any changes to your medication regimen.
