I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I'm a bit concerned and looking for advice about stopping my Concor Cor 2.5mg medication. My doctor suggested I should stop taking it directly, but I'm worried if thats the right approach. Could you give me a second opinion on whether it's safe to quit Concor Cor 2.5mg permanently? My 2D Echo shows normal LV function.

No ,you cannot stop the medication suddenly since it may worsen the symptoms, physician opinion is advised..

I'm currently taking Telma 40 in the morning and half a tablet of Ivabradine 5 in the evening, both after meals. I'm wondering if I could possibly take both the Telma and the half Ivabradine together in the morning after breakfast instead of spreading them out. Would that be okay?

Taking Telma 40 and Ivabradine 5 together in the morning after breakfast instead of at different times is not recommended. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule to ensure the effectiveness of the medications. Telma (Telmisartan) 40 should be taken in the morning after food, while Ivabradine 5 should be taken in the evening after food. It is best to follow the prescribed timing to achieve the desired therapeutic effects of both medications.
