What Causes Discomfort On Left-sided Abdomen While On Stator-F?
I am 42 yrs.male high bp patient since 10 years and triglyceride & ldl cholesterol is high . I take the medicine cardace2.5 once daily for bp and stator F for cholesterol. Now my bp is 140/87. And I feel a discomfortness on my left side. What should I do now?
Based on the history you have shared, if you are having discomfort on left side of chest, may need cardiac work up specially with history of lipid profile disturbances. A baseline EKG as well as cardiac enzymes should be done. If unremarkable, an echocardiogram may also be needed. If pain is below the ribcage then ultrasound abdomen may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
