I'm having some trouble at night, and I think it might be related to the medications I'm takingcarbophage 500 XR and MetXL 25, both twice a day. I'm feeling really uncomfortable. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

I'm really concerned about my father who's been dealing with Atrial Fibrillation for about 6 years now. A month ago, we talked to the doctor who recommended Eliquis 5mg, which he's been taking consistently. He's wondering if it's safe to stop taking the medication on his own, or if he should check with the doctor first. Could you offer some guidance on how to approach this situation?
It is important for your father to not stop taking Eliquis (Apixaban) 5mg suddenly without consulting the doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication can increase the risk of blood clots and stroke in patients with Atrial Fibrillation. Your father should consult with his doctor before making any changes to his medication regimen.

I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?
To get a complete picture of the functioning of the heart, it is recommended to also do a lipid profile and a hemogram in addition to TMT (Treadmill Test) and 2D Echo. Lipid profile helps to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are important risk factors for heart disease. Hemogram provides information about the overall health of the individual, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and platelet count, which can also impact heart health. Therefore, including a lipid profile and hemogram along with TMT and 2D Echo can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the heart's functioning.
