Eggs contains high cholesterol but it doesn't seems to raise cholesterol the way other cholesterol foods do. You may consume them in moderation and can prefer only egg white also as it contains only proteins.

View allI'm a 34-year-old who doesn't smoke or drink, and I've recently found out my triglycerides level is at 367. My doctor suggested I start taking Tonact TG, but I'm worried if this medication might cause my blood sugar levels to rise. Can you let me know if I should be concerned about this?
Tonact TG contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate which are commonly used to lower triglyceride levels. Atorvastatin may slightly increase blood sugar levels in some individuals, but this effect is usually minimal. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking Tonact TG. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is 1 tablet once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage your triglyceride levels effectively.

I'm a bit confused about my medication change. My doctor used to prescribe Concor AM 2.5mg, but now they've switched me to Concor COR 2.5mg. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm curious if there's a big change or anything I should be concerned about.
Concor AM 2.5mg is a combination medication containing bisoprolol (a beta-blocker) and amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker), while Concor COR 2.5mg contains only bisoprolol. The main difference is that Concor AM helps control blood pressure through two different mechanisms because of its two active ingredients, while Concor COR works through just one mechanism (beta-blocking). However, since this involves your prescribed medication, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist about why they made this change, as they know your specific medical situation and can explain their reasoning for modifying your prescription.

I'm currently taking medication for my blood pressure, but my last reading was 14583. Should I think about adjusting my dose, or is this level considered controlled? Can you provide some guidance on what I should do?
A blood pressure reading of 14583 is slightly elevated. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if your doctor agrees, you may need to increase the dose of your current medication or add an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance on medication adjustments.
