I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on metosartan 25mg for about three weeks now, and the doctor recently told him to switch to 50mg. Despite this and his efforts like walking and cutting down on salt, his blood pressure still isn't going down. Is there anything else we can do to help reduce his BP?

I'm a bit concerned about my mom's heart condition. She had an angina PCI a few years ago and had two stents placed in her LAD and RCA. After five years, her doctor stopped clopidogrel and now she's only on aspirin and atorvastatin. I'm just wondering, does this sound right to you? Should we be worried about taking her off clopidogrel? Would love some advice on this.
Clopidogrel and atorvastatin both do the same action that it control the lipid profile. So if she is taking aspirin and atorvastatin, i don't think there is a problem. It's perfect. No need to take both atorvastatin and clopidogrel.
