My mom recently had an angioplasty done for two of her blocked arteries, and now she's showing some signs that make me worry there might be more blockages. Is there a way to check for blockages without having to go through another angiography? Would really appreciate your advice on this.

can undergo a CT angiography to detect any further blockage without going through another angiography. It is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed images of the blood vessels. The doctor may prescribe medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is important to monitor her condition.

I've been managing my high BP with Olmesar H 20 and it's been under control. But recently, my triglycerides level went up to 201. My doctor suggested I start taking T Atorva 10MG for three months. I'm a bit worried and curiouswill taking T Atorva become like the BP meds where I have to rely on it for life?
Atorva (atorvastatin) is prescribed to manage high triglycerides and other cholesterol levels and is often used for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction. While taking it for three months can help lower triglycerides, whether you need to continue it long-term depends on your subsequent cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular risk profile. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider after the initial three months to reassess your lipid levels and determine the need for ongoing treatment. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are also crucial in managing triglycerides. Discuss with your doctor about the long-term plan and any concerns you have.
