I'm feeling some discomfort in a few spots on both sides of my chest. My HDL cholesterol is low, and I recently had a mildly positive TMT test. What do you think could be going on, and is there anything I should do?

I'm a bit worried because my cardiologist just switched my medication from clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 75mg to clopitab cv 20mg. I took the old meds this morning. Is it okay to start with the new one tonight? If I wait until tomorrow, itll be over 24 hours between doses. What should I do?

If your cardiologist has advised you to switch from clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 75mg to Clopitab CV 20mg (which combines clopidogrel and a lower dose of aspirin), you can start taking the new medication tonight. This will ensure continuous antiplatelet protection without a significant gap. However, to be absolutely certain and to avoid any potential interaction or complications, it is best to confirm this plan with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

I'm a 30-year-old male and I've been having some trouble with my BP medication. About a year ago, my blood pressure spiked to 175120 and my doctor prescribed Telma 40 along with another medicine for a week. Over time, I stopped taking Telma 40 and hadn't used it for the last 3 months. Recently, I switched to Prolomet XL 25, but it doesn't seem to suit me. What should I do?

It seems like you are experiencing some difficulties with Prolomet XL 25. Since Telma 40 worked well for you in managing your blood pressure, I would recommend you to consult your doctor for a prescription of Telma 40 again. Additionally, you can also consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg to your current medication regimen to help control your blood pressure more effectively. Remember to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications.

I'm currently taking met xl 25 mg as my doctor recommended. Is it safe for me to add omega fish oil to my morning routine with it? I'm wondering if there's any interaction I should be aware of.

Yes, you can take omega fish oil along with Met XL 25 mg in the morning. There are no known interactions between omega fish oil and Met XL. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage for both medications.
