I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

View allI'm trying to make sense of my recent test results. The CT angiography came back normal, but my treadmill test is mildly positive. I don't have any chest pain, my blood sugar is normal, and my lipid profile is good, but I do have high blood pressure. What does this all mean? Should I be worried about the mildly positive TMT even though everything else seems fine? What should be my next steps?
TMT showing mild positive results without chest pain could indicate a potential issue with the heart's blood supply. Since your CT angiography is normal and other parameters like blood sugar and lipid profile are also normal, it's important to focus on managing your blood pressure to reduce the risk of any further heart-related issues. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure effectively. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential to ensure it stays within a healthy range.

Why is hypertension a risk factor for diabetes?
Hypertension might not cause Diabetes directly but increases the risk. People with high blood pressure usually have insulin resistance leading to Diabetes compared to those with typical blood pressure.

I'm really worried about my aunt. She's a heart patient and recently had bypass surgery. She's been taking Acitrom 2mg, and the doctor warned us that mixing it with other medications could cause serious side effects. But now, for her leg pain, another doctor recommended she take Amifru 40mg. I'm just concerned - is it safe for her to take both Acitrom and Amifru together? Would love some guidance on this.
no problem you can take.
