  5. My mother-in-law has been struggling with high cholesterol and she's had two angiograms already. She's also dealing with thyroid issues, diabetes, and high blood pressure. She's been on medication for the last seven years, which has kept everything normal. But last week, her triglyceride levels shot up to 470, and she started feeling chest pain. The doctor ran some tests and added two new tablets, KORANDIL 10 and METAGARD 35, for 15 days. But after taking them, she's been having severe headaches, so she stopped taking the pills. Is there a possibility of changing these tablets with the help of the doctor?

Before changing anything , we will need to check your angiography report , your ECG , and echocardiography reports.. With out that. Changing or stoping medications can be dangerous Also will need the complete list of medications korandil can cause headache but it dialates the small blood vessels in the heart and if you have a significant blockage then you need it or some similar kind of meds..so need all the above mentioned information before any advice

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent 2D echo and colour Doppler test. It mentioned things like LEFT VENTRICLE ASH, TRILEAFLETS, and an AORTIC VALVE that's thickened. It also noted some stuff about COLOUR DOPPLER and something called AV G...

1. Whether it is curablecontrolled? Based on the diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, sclerotic aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, these conditions can be managed and controlled with appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications. While these conditions may not be completely curable, their progression can be slowed down and symptoms can be managed effectively with proper medical management. 2. Whether surgery or implants in any way will be of any help? In your case, since you have normal left ventricular systolic function and no regional wall motion abnormalities at rest, surgery or implants may not be necessary at this point. However, in some cases where there is severe aortic stenosis or regurgitation, surgical interventions such as aortic valve replacement may be considered. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and to determine if any surgical interventions are needed in the future. 3. Your considered opinion, suggestion, solution? Considering your current medication regimen, it is important to continue taking Concor 2.5 as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can help in managing your condition. Regular follow-up visits with your cardiologist are essential to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you have any concerns or experience any new symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
