Doctor is right: Do not worry keep your cholesterol under control strict diet exercise and add aspirin if not in the regime you should be ok. keep regular follow up with blood tests and periodic evaluation for progression of disease Your disease in not critical Lesions need to be over 70% to do interventions and should show ischemia on evaluation assessment and should be on at least 2 drugs for angina

Hi doctors. I blood pressure medications, Losartan 100 mg & Metoprolol ER 100 mg. At the nephrologist my blood pressure was 120/70. At the cardiologist a week later it was 145/80. I often get variable numbers. Is this variability in readings normal?
