At your age and with a history of coronary stenting, it is very important to be cautious. Hridayarnava Rasa is a classical Ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation used for cardiac support, but it is not a replacement for allopathic heart medicines, especially after stenting. It should never be used to reduce or stop cardiac drugs on your own, as this may increase the risk of serious complications. Ayurvedic supportive approach You may consider Ayurveda only as add-on supportive care 1. Heart & circulation support Hridayarnava Rasa: only take carefully Strengthening herbs like Arjuna are often preferred as safer long-term cardiac support 2. BPH (urinary symptoms) Gokshura, Varuna, Chandraprabha Vati may help urinary flow and prostate comfort 3. ED (sexual weakness) Ashwagandha and Shilajit are traditionally used for vitality, but must be used carefully due to heart condition 4. Acidity & constipation Triphala at night in low dose Warm water, light dinner, avoid spicy/fried foods Key advice: Your symptoms are likely side effects of long-term cardiac and BP medications, which is common at this stage. Instead of reducing medicines yourself.

At your age and with a history of coronary stenting, you should not reduce or stop your allopathic heart medicines on your own. Medicines such as blood thinners, BP medicines, and cardiac drugs are usually protecting the stent and preventing heart attack or stroke. —From an Ayurveda point of view, medicines like Hridayarnava Rasa are traditionally used for cardiac support, circulation, edema, and BP-related symptoms, but many rasa medicines may contain metallic/mineral preparations. —Your symptoms like: BPH (urine difficulty), ED, acidity, constipation, may sometimes be related to age, reduced circulation, stress, diet, or side effects of long-term medicines. —Rx: 1) Hridayarnava Rasa – 1 tab BD after food with lukewarm water. 2) Arjunarishta – 15 ml + equal water BD after meals. 3) Avipattikar Churna – 3 gm HS with lukewarm water 4) Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tab BD after food 5) Ural BPH – 1 tab BD after meals —Advice: Continue all prescribed cardiac allopathic medicines regularly. Avoid oily, spicy, sour, and heavy food. Early dinner, regular walking, adequate water intake. Avoid constipation and daytime sleeping. Monitor BP regularly. —Review: After 2 weeks with current reports and medicine list

Hello It is very well considerable at age of 76 with history of stunt placed in 2011 to get long term medications effects causing gastric issues, constipation, fatigue, BPH and ED. but dont sorry many of my patients i have significantly managed long term effects of medicines with proper ayurvedic treatment along side but a proper evaluation and assessment of your health is essential. ▪️Regarding Hridayanrava Rasa It is a classical ayurvedic medicine used for improving heart function, circulation and certain beart conditions But in your case it is not advisable to start without proper supervision because ➖You have a history of cardiac with stenting ➖You are already on BP and heart medications along with diuretics ➖Hridayarnava rasa is a herbo-mineral medicine it may sometime interact with your other medicines -this all can affect your blood pressure, kidney function and also can cause sudden electrolytes imbalance ▪️Safer approach in your case 1.First stabilize your acidity, digestion, constipation 2.then gradually Improve your heart function 3. During this you have to monitor your Blood pressure, pulse and symptoms ▪️Ayurvedic plan of treatment You can start with 1.Amlapitta ghanvati 1 tablet twice daily after food 2.Chandraprabha vati 1 tablet twice daily after food 3.Triphala tablets 1 at bed time This will improve your digestion, metabolism, constipation Follow this medication for 15 days and do follow up for 2 nd course of treatment ▪️Important -Do not stop your present medications suddenly -Avoid self medication -Maintain hydration -have simple easily digestible food If possible you can share your ECG, 2D Echo, Lipid profile, kidney function test in personal consultation so that i can make a proper assesment and plan your treatment accordingly Wishing you a good health😊 Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

••Good morning. It is a pleasure to connect with you, and I completely understand your desire to minimize side effects and manage your health more comfortably. •you should not replace or reduce your prescribed allopathic cardiac and blood pressure medications with Hridayarnava Rasa on your own. ••Hridayarnava Rasa is a potent classical herbo-mineral formulation (Rasavasthi) traditionally used in Ayurveda for various cardiac conditions (Hridroga). ••​Composition: It contains purified mercury (Parada), purified sulfur (Gandhaka), and Tamra Bhasma (purified copper), processed with decoctions like Triphala and Makoya. ​The Risk of Sudden Withdrawal: Your current allopathic medicines (which likely include antiplatelets/blood thinners, beta-blockers, or ACE inhibitors) keep your blood pressure stable and prevent clots around your stents. Hridayarnava Rasa does not function the exact same way mechanically. Stopping or reducing your allopathic doses suddenly can lead to dangerous spikes in blood pressure or put undue stress on your heart. ••Gastric Acidity & Constipation ​Allopathic cardiac medications (especially aspirin or blood thinners) can frequently irritate the stomach lining. ••​Ayurvedic Support: Simple, safe formulations like Amla Churna, Yashtimadhu (Licorice), or Avipattikar Churna can help manage acidity without interfering with your heart. For constipation, a mild, non-habit-forming bowel regulator like Triphala Churna or Isabgol (Psyllium husk) with warm water at bedtime can provide relief and improve gut motility. ​2. BPH & Urinary Support ••​Ayurvedic Support: Classical herbs like Varuna and Gokshura (often given as Gokshuradi Guggulu or Varunadi Kwatha) are traditionally used to support prostate health, reduce swelling, and improve urine flow safely. ​3. Erectile Dysfunction (ED) ​ED at 76 can be linked to age, prostate enlargement, or a side effect of certain blood pressure medications (like beta-blockers). ••​Ayurvedic Support: Gentle rejuvenators (Rasayanas) like Ashwagandha or Shatavari can support general vitality and nervous system strength. However, strong aphrodisiacs (Vajikarana) should be avoided in cardiac patients as they can alter heart rate and blood pressure. ••​The Safe Path Forward •​Important Action Plan: •​Do Not Self-Medicate: Because Hridayarnava Rasa contains herbo-mineral compounds, it requires strict dosage control and monitoring of your kidney and liver functions, especially at 76. ••​Integrative Approach: The goal should not be to blindly cut out allopathy, but to introduce safe Ayurvedic therapies that alleviate your digestive, prostate, and vitality issues, thereby improving your overall quality of life.
