My mom had a CABG surgery back in 2013, and now her recent ECG shows something called left atrial abnormality. I'm a bit worried about what this means for her. How serious is this condition, and is it something that can be managed with medication?

View allI've been managing my high BP with Olmesar H 20 and it's been under control. But recently, my triglycerides level went up to 201. My doctor suggested I start taking T Atorva 10MG for three months. I'm a bit worried and curiouswill taking T Atorva become like the BP meds where I have to rely on it for life?
Atorva (atorvastatin) is prescribed to manage high triglycerides and other cholesterol levels and is often used for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction. While taking it for three months can help lower triglycerides, whether you need to continue it long-term depends on your subsequent cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular risk profile. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider after the initial three months to reassess your lipid levels and determine the need for ongoing treatment. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are also crucial in managing triglycerides. Discuss with your doctor about the long-term plan and any concerns you have.

I'm really worried because he's been taking Stamlo 5 once a day, but lately, his blood pressure still seems really high, around 109 low and 180 high. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there something else we should be doing to help manage it?
I would recommend increasing the dosage of Stamlo to Stamlo 10 (Amlodipine 10mg) once a day to better control his blood pressure levels. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his healthcare provider for further guidance.
