IF ABOVE TEST IS ENOUGH TO AVOID RISK OF CAD PATIENT FROM DANGER ZONE.

Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

First of all your lipid profile, especially HDL and LDL cholesterol levels are within target values for a patient with CAD (coronary arteries disease) and I encourage you to keep going these way with diet, healthy lifestyle and treatment.

My opinion is that you should continue with the recommended anti dyslipidemiant preparation ( LIPICARD 160 and URSOCOL 300) although your transaminase (SGPT and SGOT) levels are above norm. The actual recommandation are that you can continue with anti dislipidemiant therapy as long as transaminase levels are below 4 fold normal values (in your case they are below 200).

I would suggest that you should run the following examinations to rule out further progression of CAD:
- Cardiac ECHO
- Stress test
- Cardiac CT angiography
Only if this examinations will show a clear evidence of progression of CAD you should run coronary angiography.

A blockage of 100% of a single coronary artery is dangerous, because it lead to myocardial infarction and may lead to immediate death.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

1. You are reporting to have the last angiography in 2007 (around 8 years back). I still think you should run the cardiac tests as advised earlier to re-evaluated your actual cardio-vascular status at this moment taking into account that you are having mild chest pain sometimes.

2. Blood work alone cannot evaluate your actual health condition. You need a complete heart check up. They will help the medical team evaluate related problems and the next steps to do.

3. You are taking Zapiz 5 mg that is helping you to sleep better at night. You can safely continue taking it as long as it is helping.

Hope it answered to your queries!

Hi back,

You can continue TRYPTOMER 10 for three months as prescribed by your neurologist. Don't be afraid it isn't harmful in your case.

After reviewing your skull x ray I would like to say that the online image resolution isn't as good as live image. My opinion is that there's no sign of sinusitis. However you should contact an ENT specialist to definitely exclude any Ear and Nose problems.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
