Question:
My mum is a hypertension & diabetes patient. that day she suddenly felt pain on her heart..?
my mum is a hypertension & diabetes patient. that day she suddenly felt pain on her heart..so she took a Vastarel 20mg immediately, the pain was relieved after that.
Q: The Vastarel 20mg was prescribed by the doctor few years ago, and she had stopped taking that for ages...now, she's wondering if she need to take it everyday? or just take it when there's heart ache??
Answers:
when was the last time you mum went to a doctor for a check up. the fact that it has been some time now since her last prescription of said drug, she really needs to seek medical attention so that her condition can be properly evaluated and proper medical treatment can be adminstered.
her heart ache otherwise known as an angina, can be symptomatic of other underlying conditions. taking vastarel-which is an anti-angina drug can relieve the symptoms or the pain, but it would be wise to have her medically re-evaluated by her cardiologist. the fact that she has diabetes means that she need this check up more than ever.
to self medicate may mean just masking the symptoms of a bigger problem. thus i strongly reccomend an immediate visit to the doctor. stop taking the medication, up until your doctor prescribes it again for her, and that whatever is stipulated in her treatment regimen, should be followed.
