Mild left ventricular hypertrophy can be a sign of an underlying heart condition, but it is not always serious on its own. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Medications like Lisinopril (10mg daily) or Losartan (50mg daily) may be prescribed to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had a heart stroke before, back in 2008, and my doctor told me to take Ranozex 1gm twice a day. He also recommended a thallium test. I'm wondering if I could switch to RANCAD 1000mg Ranolazine from Lupin Ltd instead of the Ranozex 1gm. Is it okay to use different brands of the same medication? Just want to make sure it's safe.

yes u can take the medication composition is same only brand name is different..

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure levels. If my blood pressure is sitting at 14090 even though I'm taking Ramistar 2.5 mg, is that okay? Should I be concerned, or is there anything else I should be doing? I'm not sure if this medication is doing enough, so I could really use some guidance here.
