Question 1

I had a CABG surgery back in 2006, and I've been on a bunch of medications since then, like Ecosprin Gold 20mg, Nebicard 2.5mg, Gelam AM 40mg, Nikoran 10, and Nitrocontin 6.4. Is it alright for me to take Nikoran and Nitrocontin at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications..

Question 2

When should I consider getting a TMT test? Are there specific signs or symptoms that would mean I need one? I'm a 23-year-old guy and just want to understand when it might be necessary.

Accepted Answer

A TMT (Treadmill Test) is usually recommended for individuals who have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness during physical activity. It is also indicated for individuals with risk factors for heart disease such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking history. As a 23-year-old male without any symptoms or risk factors, a TMT may not be necessary at this time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease in the future.

Question 3

I've been averaging a BP of 13578, and my resting heart rate is 85. My BMI is 37, and I'm only 22. I'm currently on Eritel 40 mg. I'm really worried about how to get my blood pressure and heart rate down. Could you give me some advice?
