Patient concerns

The Eco Cardigram report of myself shows adverse result(report attached) though I do not feel any discomfort in my Heart but presently my vericose vain problem which was operated in 2012 by RF Ablation GSV with Foam Sclerotherapy has relapsed aggressively by ulcer, pain and bleeding for which I take DOBESIL 500 MG twice daily with continuation of my Heart medicine ALDACTONE25 in the morning and TELMA20 at night (Prescription attached) and continues ELTROXINE50 in empty stomach in the early morning. My question is is there any relation of relapse of vericose vain with continuation of Heart medicines? Whether I can continue the medicine DOBESIL and ELTROXINE50 with the Heart medicine and how long? since I may have to take Heart medicine life long.

Please consult a General Surgeon for Varicose veins

I have been suffering from varicose veins since last 20 years. I am using stockings, ointment massage treatment for pain relief. Also putting pillow below my feet, while I sleep. But not getting permanent relief from the disease. I suffer from severe pains, if I walk for 10 to 15 minutes. One of local doctor has advised me to do laser operation for permanent relief. Some doctors opine that laser treatment is also not a permanent relief. After some period, the trouble restarts again. Kindly advise over the permanent relief on varicose veins.
