Question 1

My mom's been having issues with her high BP lately. She was on Telsartan 50 earlier, and then the doctor switched her to Amlip 5 about four months ago. It seemed okay at first, but now her BP is getting out of hand again. I'm really worried and wondering what could be causing this. Could it be that Amlip 5 isn't as effective for her as Telsartan was, or could something else be affecting her BP levels?

Question 2

I've been dealing with chest pain for quite a while now, and I just found out from an ECG that everything's normal. The pain isn't in one specific spot; sometimes it's on the left side, right side, or even lower down. Im starting to think it might be muscle-related. Is there something specific I can take for muscle pain? On top of that, I've noticed I get short of breath easily. I've been really inactive the past few months, barely moving at all, so Im wondering if this lack of exercise could be causing my stamina to drop and making me feel breathless. Could that be the case?

Accepted Answer

take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole

Question 3

I've had a CT angiogram done two years ago, and it came out normal. But now I've been told I need to repeat the test because my lipid profile is high. I attached my reports from two years ago, and they were the same back then. I'm feeling really worried about this. What do you think is going on?

Accepted Answer

if your CT angiogram from 2 years ago was normal and your lipid profile is high now, it may be necessary to repeat the CT angiogram to assess for any changes in your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

yes an ECG along with cardiac markers are advised to the patient
