Also he had suggested two months ago to discontinue medication for cholesterol tonact 10 mg &. aquazide 12.5 mg for Hypertension (doctors reasoning- overdose of chemicals and on report based on master health check up ) which I have been having for four years. I'm maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I walk/run for an hour minimum 4-5 days a week. Also took part in two 10 km marathons and a 5 km marathon recently. I would be very grateful if you can have a look at my medical reports( current month Report plus June report) and suggest future course of action if any.
