View allI'm really worried about my husband. He's been on amlopres 5 for his blood pressure for about four years, and it's been normal for a while now. Do you think it's okay for him to stop taking it? Also, he's been taking tonac 5 for his cholesterol, which is at the borderline. Does he need to take that every day? Could you please advise?
yes u can take

My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?
yes angiolasty is recommended to your father as there triple vessel disease and three arteries are blocked .

I've been on storvas 20 for the past couple of months, and I'm wondering if I should keep taking it or not. The reports came back, and I'm really not sure how to interpret them. Could you please help me out with this?
Storvas 20 is a brand name for atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. It is important to continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor, especially if it has been effective in managing your cholesterol levels. However, it is always recommended to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups and to review your reports to ensure the medication is still appropriate for you.
