I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm a bit worried because I sometimes get this pain in my chest. It tends to come and go quite a lot. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?
Chest pain that comes and goes can have various causes, including heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, muscle strain, or anxiety. It is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. If you are experiencing chest pain, it is recommended to take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) and seek immediate medical attention to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm managing my diabetes pretty well, but I've been taking Stresnil for sleep issues. I started with 0.25mg, which worked okayI'd get about 5 hours of sleep. Because the 0.25mg wasn't available recently, I've switched to 0.5mg for the last 10 days. Now, I'm not sleeping properly and I've been feeling kind of faint in the mornings. Also, I just found out my blood pressure is 16090, but I've never had high BP before. I've attached my ECG report too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
"Due to non availability of Stresnil 0.25, you have switched to Stresnil 0.5 and experiencing sleep disturbances and light fainting sensations in the morning. Your blood pressure is elevated at 16090 mmHg. Based on your symptoms and history, I recommend the following: - Switch back to Stresnil 0.25 if possible, as it was providing better sleep quality. - In the meantime, you can try taking a lower dose of Stresnil 0.5, such as half a tablet, to see if it improves your sleep without causing fainting sensations. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider consulting a cardiologist to further evaluate the elevated BP. - Based on the attached ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities noted. - If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management."

I'm really worried because I've been on amlogard 5 mg and olmesar 10mg for my blood pressure for the past five months. Now, my gastroenterologist has told me I have an intestine infection and said I should stop the olmesar. They suggested I take a different medication instead, but I'm not sure what I should switch to. Do you have any advice on what could work with the amlogard?
Ramipril 5 mg is the substitute for the medication and be taken,, salt restricted diet and dash diet also advised to the patient..
