Brief Answer:
Dont think you need that many medicines
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I have read your query
I have seen your reports and prescription
I think I can help you
The prescription consists of many medicines.
I feel you need just three medicines.
Tab Ecosprin AV (150/20) at bed time.
Tab Pantoprazole 40 mg twice a day,.
Take low fat, high fiber diet and high fluids.
The doctor considers you to have psychiatric condition called anxiety.
Treatment has been initiated accordingly.
I would eventually suggest a similar medicine.
But not as yet.
I would suggest meeting a psychotherapist for behavioral modification.
If that fails, then you can try the medicines.
Repeat the lipid profile in 2-3 months after above.
In a town with a medical university and medical colleges, I think it would be easier for you to find a psychotherapist in the college.
I hope that helps.
