Question

I've just found out that my triglycerides are really high at 690, and my total cholesterol is at 200. Could you please suggest what medication I should consider for this? I'm quite concerned and looking for some guidance.

Question

My brother has been having chest pain so we got a CT angiography done as advised by the doctor. Can you check the report and tell us if there's any blockage and whether he might need heart surgery? We're really worried and would appreciate your advice.

Question

I had bypass surgery 7 years ago but now I'm having chest pain again could it be related to my past surgery or something new happening? What should I do about it?

Question

I'm really worried about my father. He had a couple of small attacks, and then a major one, and we had to move him from Dhanbad to a Kolkata hospital. They did an angioplasty on the 28th, he had a 90% blockage in his main vessel and they put in a stent. He was discharged on the 1st, but the next day he was back in the hospital because water filled up near his lungs and heart, and he couldnt breathe. He was in CCU for about seven days and finally got out on the 13th of December. Recently, his BNP levels were 956, potassium 2.4, and serum creatinine 1.84, so the doctor switched his medication around. Now he's on concor 1.25 mg, prax 10 mg, eptus 50 mg, ivabrad 5 mg, ecosprin 75 mg, aztor 10 mg, potklor, and febutaz 40 mg since his uric acid was high. But since yesterday, he's having trouble breathing and can't sleep at night. What should we do?
