I'm dealing with chest pain and heaviness for about 2 years now, and Montair FX helps, but if I stop taking it, the symptoms come right back. Plus, I get side effects like stomach gas from it. What should I do? Is there a way to stop using Montair FX, or maybe there's another option I can consider?

I've had mild chest pain for years and my doctor recommended an angiography which showed blockages in my arteries. The report says there's a 40-50% mid-segment stenosis in the LM artery, 90% stenosis in the LAD at S1 D1 level with diffuse distal disease, and severe blockages in LCx (70-80% ostial), OM1 (80% ostial), OM2 (90% diffuse). RCA also has 90% stenosis in ostial PDA and PLV. Given these findings, is bypass surgery the best option for me or are there other treatments I should consider?

cardiologist opinion is advised.

I'm 36, and my blood pressure is pretty high at 142 over 94. I'm worried that if I start taking blood pressure meds, it might lead to erectile dysfunction or affect my sex life somehow. I'm getting married in four months, so this is really on my mind, especially since I haven't had morning erections for the past five months. I already walk about 2 km every day, but can I manage this with lifestyle changes alone? What's the best way forward?

Starting blood pressure medication is important to manage your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Some blood pressure medications, such as beta-blockers and diuretics, may have side effects like erectile dysfunction. However, there are other options like calcium channel blockers or ACE inhibitors that are less likely to cause this issue. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and managing stress can also help control blood pressure and improve erectile function. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a blood pressure medication that is less likely to cause erectile dysfunction, such as a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, continue with your daily walks and consider incorporating other healthy habits to improve your overall health and sexual function.
