I'm worried about my dad's new BP medication. He's been taking Olmazest Beta 25 mg twice a day for a while, and now the cardiologist added Natrilix SR 1.5 mg. Ever since he started the new one, he's been having really bad itching. What could be causing this and what should we do to help him stop itching?

To help alleviate the itching, he can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dose of 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like calamine lotion to the affected areas can also provide relief. If the itching persists or becomes severe, it is important to consult with the cardiologist who prescribed the medication for further guidance.

how can i tell if my bypass surgery was successful are there any specific scans or tests that can confirm everything went well

After bypass surgery, your healthcare team will monitor your recovery and perform tests to assess the success of the procedure and overall heart health. These tests can include a coronary angiogram to check graft patency and blood flow, an echocardiogram to evaluate heart function, and cardiac CT angiography (CTA) to assess graft patency and surrounding structures

I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?
