View allI'm dealing with Celiac Disease and mild Asthma, and I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood and echo test results. The tests showed that my total cholesterol is at 2212, and there's a mention of mild LVH with Grade 1 LVDD. It got me worried about whether I'm at risk of any heart problems. Could you help me understand these results and what they might mean for my heart health?
Based on your test results, your total cholesterol level is 221 which is slightly elevated. For mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction), it is important to manage your conditions to prevent any further complications. For your cholesterol level, you can consider taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. For mild LVH and LVDD, it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend medications such as Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help with your heart condition. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to support your overall health and well-being.

Hey, I accidentally took two MetpureXL25 tablets this morning instead of just one. Is that something I need to worry about or should I just continue with my day as usual?
It is important to be cautious with this medication as it can lower your blood pressure and heart rate significantly. You should monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely for the next few hours. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or shortness of breath, please seek medical attention immediately. In case of overdose, treatment may include supportive measures and monitoring of vital signs. It is advisable to contact a healthcare professional or poison control center for further guidance. Please be more careful with your medication regimen in the future to avoid such incidents.

I've had angioplasty with two stents placed back in December 2017. I'm taking Brilinta 90 mg, Carca, Cardace, and Metformin morning and evening, with Ecosprin in the evening. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have my evening dose of medication after having some alcohol. Is this safe or should I be worried about any interactions?
After consuming liquor, it is generally not recommended to take certain medications due to potential interactions. However, based on the medications you are currently taking, it is safe to take the evening dose of Ecosprin (aspirin) after consuming liquor. It is important to avoid alcohol with Brilinta (Ticagrelor) as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol with Metformin. As for Carca and Cardace, which are likely beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors respectively, it is generally safe to take them with alcohol in moderation. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
