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?

Ajay, given your cholesterol levelstotal cholesterol of 231 mgdL, triglycerides of 248 mgdL, HDL of 35 mgdL, LDL of 146 mgdL, and non-HDL of 196 mgdLit's important to take steps to manage and reduce your cardiovascular risk. 1.

Incorporate regular physical activity, such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption. 2.

I've been dealing with anxiety and blood pressure issues and was initially on betacap tr40. My doctor switched me over to telma 20, but I started experiencing palpitations. So I saw another doctor who changed my medication to nebicard 2.5, but I'm still having those palpitations. Now, my psychiatrist is suggesting I take petril beta at night. Is it okay if I take nebicard 2.5 in the morning and petril beta at night? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure it's safe.
u have to take petril beta at night only.

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.
