Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Dear and respected vaidyas and doctors, I´m male, 59 years old, 1,80m height, 78kgs weight, anxious, not married, retired, living in South America. One year ago I suffered a myocardial infarction followed by a bypass graft surgery using two mammal arteries and one saphenous vein. Today, I feel some chest pain like a pressure and, sometimes, breathlessness, particularly when I need to put my head down doing some type of home work. 1. Medicines I´m using right now are: Baby Aspirin (100mg) 1 pill a day, Atenolol (25mg) 1 pill a day, for hypertension, Sinvastatin (20mg) 1 pill a day, for high cholesterol, Vitamin D3 and Vitamnin K2, one pill a day. My actual blood pressure is 10/6 or 11/7. My actual cholesterol level is 166 (Tryglycerides is 240). 2. Actual diet is mainly raw and cooked: vegetables, salmon and organic chicken. No oil and salt. Sugar, only honey and jaggery. Fruits: avocado, banana, lemon juice. I walk 3km almost every day. I don´t feel chest pain or breathlessness when walking. Could you please suggest me: 1. Ayurvedic medicines available for heart strength improvement and to thin blood. 2. Is it possible, on a lesioned heart like mine, to restore circulation in the clogged arteries and revert the lesion, using Ayurvedic medicines? 3. Please suggest me, if possible, heart improvement Ayurvedic medicine packages, for all symptoms, covering hypertension, high cholesterol level, circulation,angina, heart strenght and others, referring this type of surgery. 4. Using Ayurvedic Medicines, do I have to stop my actual medicines? 5. Could you please suggest brand name medicines from reputable pharmacies, (Baydianath, Dabur, Shree Dhootapapeshwar, others) because I live outside US and will have to buy from online stores? Thank you all, very much Pirgah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 There is enough material published in journals pointing out why statin drugs are unnecessary or undesirable. A recent one: http://public-healthcare-issues.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_dangers_of_statin_d\ rug_use More dangerous is atenolol. An extract from a medical journal is provided below for ready reference: Atenolol in hypertension: is it a wise choice? Lancet, Volume 364, Issue 9446, 6 November 2004-12 November 2004, Pages 1684-1689 We identified four studies that compared atenolol with placebo or no treatment, and five that compared atenolol with other antihypertensive drugs. Despite major differences in blood pressure lowering, there were no outcome differences between atenolol and placebo in the four studies, comprising 6825 patients, who were followed up for a mean of 4•6 years on all-cause mortality (relative risk 1•01 [95% CI 0•89–1•15]), cardiovascular mortality (0•99 [0•83–1•18]), or myocardial infarction (0•99 [0•83–1•19]). The risk of stroke, however, tended to be lower in the atenolol than in the placebo group (0•85 [0•72–1•01]). When atenolol was compared with other antihypertensives, there were no major differences in blood pressure lowering between the treatment arms. Our meta-analysis showed a significantly higher mortality (1•13 [1•02–1•25]) with atenolol treatment than with other active treatment, in the five studies comprising 17671 patients who were followed up for a mean of 4•6 years. Moreover, cardiovascular mortality also tended to be higher with atenolol treatment than with other antihypertensive treatment. Stroke was also more frequent with atenolol treatment. Our results cast doubts on atenolol as a suitable drug for hypertensive patients. = = = = = = = = = Aayurveda offers many approaches. The leading approaches are drugless such as pranayama. But should be undertaken under the guidance of expert/experienced vaidya. While expert yoga teacher may be able to teach the techniques, the effect of each on heart can be assessed by a vaidya. Hence consult someone locally. Number of herbal formulations are also used. However, each patient needs to be given specific advise. General guidelines are already provided in archives, which you may search using key words such as CAD Some post#s are 4243, 8378, 9084, 9600, 14101, 14621. __________________________ I´m male, 59 years old, 1,80m height, 78kgs weight, anxious, not married, retired, living in South America.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 That's a tuff one my friend… It would be prudent to find an Ayurvedic physician in your area… With that said I would keep upping my walking until all pain and breathlessness is gone… The lack of these two when your are walking is a good clue in which direction to proceed… There is a heart formal here http://www.banyanbotanicals.com/prodinfo.asp?number=1161 & variation= & aitem=1 & mite\ m=3 but I would run it by you pharmacist to see it there are any contraindication… Good luck my friend… Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
