My aunt recently had a TMT test which came back positive, so she had a CAG done afterward. The doctor said everything looked normal, with no artery blockages, but she was still given medicine for heart attack prevention and blood circulation. Does this mean there's possibly another issue going on? I'm really concerned and don't quite understand why she'd need these medications if there's no blockage. Could it be related to something else?

It is possible that your aunt's symptoms could be related to other cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease or heart failure. However, without more information about her specific symptoms and medical history, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. The medications prescribed for heart attacks and blood circulation issues are typically aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health. It is important for your aunt to continue taking the prescribed medications as directed by her doctor to reduce the risk of any potential complications.

View allI've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?
For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.

I recently got over Covid, testing negative on May 5th, 2021. Now, I've started experiencing some post-Covid symptoms like shortness of breath and a faster heartbeat. I had a Lipid Profile test done, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are high. I'm feeling a bit better now, but my doctor suggested I take some meds like Anleo DSR, Korandil 5, Montek AB, Vitoxy Plus, and Rozavel A for a month. Is it safe for me to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on these medications?

I'm dealing with constrictive pericarditis and was admitted to Sri Satya Sai Hospital. They won't operate because my white blood cell count is low. They recommended getting my WBC up before they proceed with the surgery. Could you suggest how I can increase my WBC levels within 10-15 days?
To increase your WBC count, you can take Filgrastim (brand name Neupogen) at a dosage of 5-10 mcgkgday. This medication can help stimulate the production of white blood cells in your body. Additionally, you can also consider taking Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) medications such as Pegfilgrastim (brand name Neulasta) at a dosage of 6 mg per chemotherapy cycle. These medications can help boost your WBC count within the specified timeframe.
