Hi Welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Yes certainly all the prescribed medications are safe for him.Fungal infection should be additionally treated with systemic antifungal drugs like Terbinafine or griseofulvin under strict medical prescription.Foods rich in sodium like spinach and tomato and sea foods should not be consumed.Likewise a complete 2 dimensional echo should be performed to evaluate the impact of aneurysm on the heart.This can also revise the stent status.Vital parameters have to be controlled well.MRI of the aneurysm has to done periodically to document the size to prevent potential complications of rupture.Anxiety has to be well controlled with drugs like Clonazepam for short period of 3-6 months. Consult an expert cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon for expert management.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
