I've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 65 and has both blood pressure and sugar issues. She recently had an ECG done, and the report mentions things like Normal sinus rhythm, longitudinal left axis deviation, possible old inferior MI, and some ST depression indicating mild anterolateral and high lateral myocardial ischemia with abnormal T waves. She's currently taking Sartel LN, Revolol XL 50, Plavix 75, Caat 40, Nikoran 5, Diamicron XR 60, and Ziten 20. Can you help me understand what all this means for her and if there's anything specific we should be worried about right now?

These medications are commonly used to manage conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, and potential ischemic events. It's important to follow the prescribed dosages and continue regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
