I'm trying to understand the seriousness of some heart blockages that were reported. Can you explain what level of concern is typical for this kind of issue? Is there any immediate action I should be thinking about?

I've always struggled with high cholesterol, and it's been a tricky issue in my family as wellseems like a genetic thing. Every time my cholesterol spikes, I've been using Roseday 10 mg to bring it down temporarily. But I'm really interested in finding a more natural daily approach to managing it. I've heard about Himalaya Arjuna and Lahsuna tablets as potential aids. Do you think taking these daily could help keep my cholesterol levels stable and promote heart health? I'd love to find a way to manage my cholesterol without always relying on medication. What are your thoughts on this, and do you have any advice?

Taking Himalaya Arjuna and Himalaya Lahsuna tablets daily can help in maintaining your cholesterol levels and supporting heart health. Himalaya Arjuna contains Arjuna extract which helps in maintaining heart health, while Himalaya Lahsuna contains Garlic which is known to have cholesterol-lowering properties. You can take Himalaya Arjuna 1 tablet twice daily and Himalaya Lahsuna 1 tablet twice daily after meals for effective management of cholesterol levels and overall heart health.

I've been on amlosafe at 5mg for about 4 months now, but my blood pressure is still hovering around 150100. Do you think I should be switching up my medication, or is there something else I should be trying?

Amlosafe is a brand name for Amlodipine. Since your blood pressure is still high despite taking Amlodipine 5mg for 4 months, you may need a change in medication. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching to a different antihypertensive medication such as Losartan .
