I'm really worried about my brother. He had a heart attack in March 2017, and it turned out he had a 100% blockage in a left artery. He's been taking meds like planep 25mg, sexeloxon, and roustor gold10 to help with this. I'm just wondering, can medication actually remove the blockage, or is that not possible? And how do we even check if the blockage has improved or if it's still completely blocked?

To check if the blockage has been reduced or is still at 100%, he can undergo a diagnostic test called a coronary angiography. This procedure will provide detailed images of the arteries and can show if there has been any improvement in the blockage. It is important to follow up with his cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?

Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.

I've been having some issues with shortness of breath, especially when I'm lying down, and I've noticed I can't burp properly sometimes. It's been going on for a couple of months now, and I'm getting a bit worried. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
