I'm really worried about my parents' health. My father, who's 71, has a CT value of 18 and is a heart patient. My mother is 70, her CT value is 6, and she's diabetic. Should I be concerned about their condition? Would appreciate any advice you can give!

I've attached my reports here and I'm a bit worried about the results. Can you please help me understand if the problem is serious and let me know if there's anything that can be done to treat it?

This is a serious condition that needs to be managed properly to prevent complications. You can start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a dosage of 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help in managing high blood pressure. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I've just had an ECG, and the doctor mentioned there were some issues. They suggested I get an ECHO, which thankfully turned out to be normal. Now they've advised me to go for an angiography. I'm a bit uncertain about going for another test. Could you help me understand why it might be necessary? Also, they've prescribed me Clopidogrel IP 75 mg and Atorvastatin. Could you explain what these medications are for and if there are any side effects I should be aware of? I'm feeling a little lost here and would appreciate some guidance.

yes to continue all the medications as advised ,, angiography as a prognosis is advised..

Im curious about something strange I've been experiencing. Whenever I lie down and try to relax, it feels like my body shakes with what seems like a pulse or heartbeat. Its weird because both my blood pressure and heartbeat are normal, and Ive had an echo and an ECG done, and those were fine too. Is it usual to feel this sort of pulsing or shaking in the body while resting?
