I'm really worried about my husband. He's been on amlopres 5 for his blood pressure for about four years, and it's been normal for a while now. Do you think it's okay for him to stop taking it? Also, he's been taking tonac 5 for his cholesterol, which is at the borderline. Does he need to take that every day? Could you please advise?

Question

I'm still dealing with chest pain whenever I talk loudly or shout, especially when I'm angry. It starts spreading and only eases when I lie down or someone rubs my back. Even climbing stairs brings on the pain. I've had all the tests, including a CT Angio, and everything came back normal, with the cardiologist saying there's no heart issue. But this problem isn't going away. I'm feeling really confused about what steps to take next. Should I consider getting a more in-depth check-up or maybe visit a bigger hospital?

Question

I'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?

Question

I'm kind of worried about stopping Aspirin because I've been dealing with some stomach issues, and the doctor told me it might be gastritis. They said I should stop taking Aspirin and just stick with clopidogrel. I'm also a bit concerned because my platelet count came back at 110,000. Should I be thinking about a lower dose of Aspirin, like 50 or 25 mg, instead of stopping it altogether? Does that sound safer for someone with my heart condition?
