Here are some of my health updates & news:
1 - Medicine Changes: Part of the fun of aging is the medicine we take! I remember my mother! She lived to be 86 & did not take ANY medication till she was 83!! WAY TO GO MOM!!! Your son, is not as lucky!! Here is my list:
Aspirin - 81 mg-Daily
Montelukast - (was
Singulair) - 10 mg-Daily
Pantoprazole - (was Nexium & was
Aciphex) - 40 mg-Daily
This is the new one that was changed by my liver doctor!
Atorvastatin - (was
Lipitor) - 40 mg-Daily
Metoprolol - 25 mg and Daily
Clopidogrel - (was
Plavix) - 75 mg-Daily
Amlodipine - 5mg-Daily
So, that is 7! Seven medicines that I take daily. Here is how I started taking the medicines!
Atorvastatin - (was Lipitor) I started this at about the age 51. My cholesterol was high & and buy family doctor started the process!
Montelukast - (was Singulair) I always has asthma & allergies. Again, the family doctor suggested & the rest is history! I do not have any allergies issues & my asthma is under control! My doctor said it would be life changing and he was correct!
Pantoprazole - (was Nexium & was Aciphex) Another from my family doctor! Another life changer! In my 40's I really started to suffer from stomach issues! As my family doctor predicted, a life changer! This is my change as of this week! I started with Aciphex and it worked! The family doctor then changed to Nexium and it worked. And now, Pantoprazole. I will update soon!
After my heart survey:
Atorvastatin
Metoprolol
Clopidogrel
Amlodipine
Aspirin
I have had no real issues with these drugs. For a time, as noted right after my open heart surgery, my doctors experimented with the Metoprolol. I was having PVC issues & my dosage was raised, then lowered. When I was taking 100 mg I was tired! Now on 25 mg, I have more energy!
Next, Liver doctor results!
