I'm really concerned about my dad's health after he got a stent put in during his angioplasty this April. He's planning to stay with me for 23 days, but we live in a house with two floors. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to be climbing stairs. Could you advise on whether that's okay for him?

I've been taking 1.25mg of Concor Cor since January 25, 2022, but I want to stop. It's only for panic attacks, not for any heart issues. I've got other meds for panic attacks now. How can I safely quit the Concor Cor?

I'm really concerned because my TMT came back positive and I've been told I've got a heart problem. What should I do now? How serious is this, and what's the next step?

Based on your positive TMT result and heart problem, I would recommend that you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you should also consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
