I'm currently on metolar, and I've been wondering if it's okay to have garlic on an empty stomach in the morning. Could it affect the medicine or my health in any way?

Better not to take on empty stomach as it might cause gastritis

Question

I'm 32 and dealing with anxiety and hypertension. I've been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo. My doctor mentioned taking a TMT and prescribed me TelmaCT 4012.5, Inderal 10, and Rosuvastatin 20. Do you think I should go ahead with the TMT? I'm feeling a bit worried about all this.

Question

I'm 26 and in my family, we dont usually include garlic or onion in our meals, but I've been reading about the benefits of garlic and I'm intrigued. I heard it can help reduce bad cholesterol, which I know I have. I've come across Himalaya Lasuna Garlic pills and Himalaya Wellness Pure Herbs Lasuna Cardiac Wellness tablets. Are there any side effects or downside to taking these? Is there something else I should consider? Would taking 1 or 2 pills a day be okay, or should I be consulting a physician first?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my latest ECG report and I was hoping you could help me understand it better. The QRS is 74 ms, the QTQTc Baz is 326420 ms, PR is 110 ms, P is 84, and the RRPP is 602600 ms. It also mentions PQrsT at 567627 degrees. Is there anything in there that I should be worried about? I've attached my cholesterol report too, if that helps give a clearer picture.
