Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
A negative test is reassuring –practically excludes Coronary Artery Diseas
ECOSPRIN-AV is a combination of 2 drugs… aspirin and atorvastatin.
And you say it was started for your cholesterol…
Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver – and that is determined by heredity
We cannot cure the problem, but only control the effects
If you stop the drugs, they will raise again – it is just a question of time
The level is also influenced by diet and exercise… but the effect is limited
Some take them , even with normal levels, even without problems (Primary Prophylaxis)
For a long life, the drugs must be taken lifelong
As also the life style changes…
So continue the drug
Do not stop unless there is a specific contraindication
Good luck
God bless you
