My mom is currently taking a CTD 12.5 tablet daily as her doctor prescribed. I've heard that generic medicines can be more affordable. Is there a generic version of this tablet you could recommend for us? I'm trying to find a more cost-effective option.

View allI've been feeling my heartbeat in my stomach when I'm lying down, and it's like my stomach moves with each beat. My ECG came out normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. What steps should I take next?
This sensation could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus, where you perceive your heartbeat in your abdomen. Since your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart issue. However, it is important to rule out other potential causes. I recommend you consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try managing stress and anxiety, as they can sometimes exacerbate this sensation.

Is there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.
For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My dad just went through angioplasty a couple of weeks ago and now that he's out of the hospital, I'm really concerned about what kind of diet he should be following. I'm looking for guidance on the best foods he should eat to help with his recovery. Any advice would be really appreciated.
After angioplasty, it is important for your father to follow a heart-healthy diet to promote recovery and reduce the risk of further heart issues. He should focus on consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Some specific foods to include in his diet are: - Oats: High in soluble fiber which can help lower cholesterol levels - Fatty fish like salmon or mackerel: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are good for heart health - Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds are good sources of healthy fats - Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries are rich in antioxidants - Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, collard greens are packed with vitamins and minerals It is also important for him to limit his intake of saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Encourage him to drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages. Regular physical activity and stress management are also important components of a heart-healthy lifestyle.
