I'm trying to figure out whether Amlovas AT or LupidipA would be a better option for my dad. He's been on Amlovas AT for the past 5-6 years. Could you shed some light on which might be more suitable for him? I'm just a bit concerned and want to make sure he's on the right medication.

Question

I'm experiencing these odd palpitations when I'm trying to sleep, but as soon as I wake up and move around a bit, they stop. I've had GERD since last September, and my recent endoscopy showed a grade 2. I've been keeping up with my health; did a TMT and checked my lipid profiles, and everything was normal. No blood pressure issues either, and I quit smoking 4 or 5 years ago, though I still have a drink now and then. My echo showed a grade 2, which makes me wonder if there's something going on with my heart or if it's all related to my esophagus issues. Also, I just started meds for fatty liverUdiliv 300, Darolac, Rifaximin 400mg, and Moza Plusand my SGPT was at 109. With a weight of 100 kg and being 5'10", I'm a bit worried. Is the grade 2 thing a sign of heart trouble, or could it be from the GERD? And is it possible for the grade 2 to be reversible?

Question

I'm wondering if it's really necessary to get my heart rate up by walking on a treadmill for a stress echocardiogram. When I was lying down for the test, my heart rate was already high at around 130-140 because of anxiety and stuff. The doctor mentioned that since my heart rate is already up, they wouldnt make me do the treadmill, and the stress echo would still be completed. I was told that it doesnt matter if the heart is beating faster due to stress or exercise; all they need are the images. I paid 3.5k for the stress test but ended up with just an echo report, which usually costs 1.5k. I've been having typical chest pain and in the report, they noted sinus tachycardia during the study. What should I do?

I'm having this weird chest pain that only happens when I take deep breaths. It's right in the middle of my chest and it really hurts when I breathe in. Could you tell me what's going on or what I should do?
