My brother's been taking Olmezest H20 for his blood pressure, but sometimes it still shows high readings. The doctor recommended adding Amlodipine 5 mg to his routine. I'm wondering if that's a good idea or if switching to Olmezest H40 might be better. What do you think?

I've been having chest pain for the past two months along with a fast heartbeat but my ECG came back normal. Next week I'm scheduled for inguinal scrotal hernia surgery and my PFT test showed small airway obstruction with severe restriction on spirometry though the doctor said it's fine. Should I be concerned about these results or is there something else I should do?

Why do heart attacks happen at night?

I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test (TMT) are valid. If I keep up a pretty active lifestyle, when would be a good time to consider getting another TMT done for just a regular check-up? Would love any advice on that!

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
