I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?
