I'm really worried about my mom who's 89 and dealing with a leaky heart valve. Every couple of months, she gets shortness of breath and ends up in the hospital. Theyve given her a diuretic for the foot swelling and fluid in her lungs, but I'm really anxious to know what her life expectancy might be like with this condition at her age. Can you shed some light on this?

View allI'm a bit worried because my WBC count is at 12,900. Im currently taking Dilzem, Rosuless, and Teneza. Could you let me know if this might be related to the medications, and if there's anything I should be concerned about? What should I do next?
I recommend continuing with your current medication regimen.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been taking ecosprin AV but he's been having some abdomen pain, so the doctor suggested a USG, and they also mentioned theyll do a TMT test. In the meantime, they've switched his medication from ecosprin AV to a mix of Telmisartan and Metaprolol Succinate until they can do the TMT test. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the USG and TMT tests done today. Is it safe for him to stop taking ecosprin AV for now?
it is advisable to follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication changes. In this case, since your father's medication has been changed from Ecosprin AV to Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination, it is important to continue with the new medication as prescribed. Once the TMT test and USG are conducted, the doctor will be able to provide further guidance based on the results. It is generally not recommended to stop medication abruptly without consulting the doctor. Therefore, please continue with the Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination as advised by the doctor

I'm a 31-year-old guy and have been experiencing chest pain since September 2017. All my tests like ECG, echocardiography, lipid profile, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram have come back normal. I also get pain in my hand and jaw, along with dizziness every day. My cardiologists told me it's anxiety disorder, but I'm still worried because the pain is persistent. The doctor has prescribed flavedon MR 35 to take twice a day and said to continue for a month. Should I expect to stop the medication after one month if the symptoms persist, or is this something I might need long-term? I'm just trying to figure out if this plan seems right given my symptoms.
Yes you can use it no problem and as your doctor said you might be having Anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
