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.

I've noticed some changes in my recent lab results, and I'm a bit worried. My triglycerides have gone up from 374 in December to 470 mgdl now. My HDL improved from 31 to 42 mgdl, but my LDL dropped from 153 to 78 mgdl and my VLDL jumped from 34 to 94 mgdl. I haven't taken any medicine, just changed my diet and stopped eating out. Should I see a cardiologist or just a regular physician?
