"i'm going to look into joining a cardiac rehabilitation program." 5. "ibuprofen works best for me when i have pain."

5. "Ibuprofen works best for me when I have pain."

Explanation:

A patient with heart problems should take some extra care when taking medication. Recently, deleterious effects of ibuprofen have been discovered on the heart. This drug increases the chances of a heart attack, so it should be used with caution in patients with a history of heart disease.

The other alternatives make sense. It is good for a person to decrease or stop eating frozen meals, as these meals usually contain trans fat. The ideal period for taking a diuretic is in the morning, as the person will need to urinate constantly. It is not necessary to monitor the weight every two days, but it does not hurt to do so. A rehab program can be great for the patient.
