Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've had for the past month. I've done all the testsECG, 2D echo, and TMTand they all came back normal. My lipid profile is borderline though. I can't sleep because of the constant headache and chest pain throughout the day. The only way I'm sleeping is with Restyl 0.25 mg, but the chest pain just won't go away. What should I do next?

Question 3

I've had an Acute MI back in January 2019, and they did angioplasty within two days of the attack. Right now, I'm taking Vymada 59, Ecosprin 75, Brilinta 90, Eptus T 2510, Atocor 40, and Seloken XL 50. Everything's been mostly fine, but I do sometimes get breathless, have palpitations, feel dizzy, and even experience less alertness. I'm really curious about a few things:

- What's the likelihood that my ejection fraction will increase?
- How long can I expect to live with my condition and current treatment?
- Are there any known long-term side effects of these medications on other parts of the body, and how can I minimize any negative effects?
- My doctor mentioned considering an AICD. Would that help improve my ejection fraction?
- What are some potential downsides to getting an AICD?

I'm really curious about something. Is it possible to have a heart stent removed without undergoing bypass surgery? I'm trying to understand if there's a way to do this less invasively. Would love to hear your thoughts!
