I'm really concerned about my mom's health after she had COVID. She's been feeling really weak and is sweating a lot at night. Her blood pressure sometimes drops below 60100, but then it goes back up after she eats something or takes supplements. I'm not sure what's going on or what we should do about it. Can you give me some advice?

View allI'm really worried about my 30-year-old son. He's been diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and I know his systolic function is at 68. His blood pressure is around 13090, and thankfully, he doesn't have diabetes or thyroid issues. I'm just trying to understand how we can manage or improve his diastolic dysfunction. What can we do for him?

I've had borderline high cholesterol for about a year now. My doctor is suggesting I start on medication, but I'm thinking maybe I could hold off for another month or two and try to make some more lifestyle changes. Is it okay to wait a bit longer before starting meds? And if I do start taking statins, is it possible to stop them later if my cholesterol levels improve?
Statins are medications commonly used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding starting or stopping statins. However, if you want to delay starting statins and focus on lifestyle changes first, you can discuss this with your doctor. Once you start taking statins, it is generally recommended to continue them as prescribed by your doctor. However, in some cases, with close monitoring and under the guidance of your healthcare provider, it may be possible to stop statin therapy. It is important to not stop statins abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can have negative effects on your cholesterol levels and overall health. If you have concerns about starting statins or want to explore other options, it is best to have a discussion with your doctor to create a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs and preferences.

I'm a bit concerned and looking for advice about stopping my Concor Cor 2.5mg medication. My doctor suggested I should stop taking it directly, but I'm worried if thats the right approach. Could you give me a second opinion on whether it's safe to quit Concor Cor 2.5mg permanently? My 2D Echo shows normal LV function.
No ,you cannot stop the medication suddenly since it may worsen the symptoms, physician opinion is advised..
