Asked for male, 66 years old from Navi Mumbai

I am 65 years old and suffered a Heart Attack 3 years back. I am on medication for the same (Ecosprin 75, Novastat - CV 10/75, Nebicard 2.5, Ativan 2 mg along with Pantocid once a day. Due to Acid Reflux problem, ecosprin 75 was stopped9 since last one year), and was advised to undergo Endoscopy test. I had undergone the test and diagnosed with Lax Cardia. I have been prescribed with Pantocid 40 twice a day since then. I have read in your Advisory tips, as well as advices from other doctors that prolonged use of PPI is very harmful. But, in my case I have to take it continuously. What should I do?

modify eating habits.
take warm water in the form of green tea/clear soups/diluted milk/normal tea /plain warm water every 2 hours so that acid does not get collected and is washed further with warm nourishing liquids.
continue other medicines given after heart attack.
aspirin is a blood thinner and is not the only reason for acidity or st...more

Health Query

My bp remains 125/70 to 175/90 or sometimes vary slightly either to lower or higher sides. But the difference between the systolic and diastolic levels are quite far apart unlike in the correct ratio of 120/80. What does that mean. My readings are taken by omron digital sphygmomanometer. My doctor has prescribed nebistar 5 mg at 8 am in the morning, febubest 40 mg in the morning, novastat 5 and delicate forte (for anxiety disorder). Are my bp ok? If so why systolic is much higher than normal even when diastolic is lower than normal?

You don't seem to have bp problem, and may not require medicines for it. Suggest you measure bp only once every month on fixed dates after resting for 10 minutes.

You can take tab glycomet 500 mg one tablet in the night after dinner to control your fasting. Actually your hba1c is quite normal. It is only fasting hyperglycaemia is the problem. It should get controlled with glycomet only. Further if you tighten your diet, you can gradually stop glycomet as well.
