How Can Estradiol Level Be Controlled While Taking Multiple Heart Medications?
I Have been on o.1 estradiol patches. Recently I was put on three heart medications. They are atorvastatin, metoprolol tartrate and brilinta. My estradiol level went from about 90-100 to 284. What do I do now? I need my heart medicines and I also need to be on estradiol. If I go lower than 0.1 then I get lots of symptoms and if I go to 0.1 plus a .125 patch then my estradiol shoot way way up. Please let me know what to do. Thanks a lot, Dr. Runners.
