Accepted Answer

Probably; help heart: We don't have as much information about the interactions of herbs and drugs as is desirable, but as far as known it is safe to combine these with ramipril. Both are tonics for the heart. Hawthorne helps hypertension, angina & heart failure. See http://umm.Edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/hawthorn
arjuna may help angina and hypertension. See http://www.Raysahelian.Com/arjuna.Html  
they are safe.

Question 2

is terminalia arjuna good for heart and cholesterol control?

Accepted Answer

Maybe? Evidence? No!: Study online: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/9855567 http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/9505018 http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/terminalia_arjuna, limited evidence, mechanism unclear. If it were really promising, likely more would have been done since. Cholesterol made by every animal/human cell, part of cell membrane, enables movement, wrong issue. Study lipoproteins & my answers on healthtap.

Covid 19 testing: Talk to your Dr, or look up local testing online for your area. You will most probably need a Dr's referral for the test.
