I'm a bit worried because I've been taking Rosukem A1075 after getting diagnosed with T2DM in September 2018. The cardiac doctor I visited then suggested this medication for a normal ECG and echo. But I've just got my annual health checkup reports, and both the ECG and TMT turned out fine. Now I'm unsure if I should keep taking this tablet. My diabetologist says I should continue with Rosuvas 5. Could you help me figure out what to do?
Since you were advised Rosukem A1075 by the cardiologist, it is important to follow their recommendation for your heart health. Rosukem A1075 contains Rosuvastatin 10mg and Aspirin 75mg, which helps in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. As for your diabetologist's advice to continue Rosuvas 5, it contains Rosuvastatin 5mg which also helps in lowering cholesterol. It is important to follow both specialists' advice for optimal management of your conditions. So, you can continue taking Rosukem A1075 as advised by the cardiologist and Rosuvas 5 as advised by the diabetologist for your overall health."

I recently did some heart tests because I was experiencing pain in my left arm. My doctor mentioned it was muscular pain. My ECG didn't come out normal, but the TMT and 2D echo were fine. I'm really confused about whether it's okay to do strength training at the gym. I've attached my reports. Can you check them out and let me know what you think?
based on the reports you have provided, it's good to hear that your TMT and 2D echo results are normal, despite the abnormal ECG. Since your doctor has mentioned that the left arm pain is muscular in nature, it is generally safe to engage in strength training at the gym. However, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid any strain on the muscles. You can start with light weights and focus on proper form and technique. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consult with a fitness trainer at the gym to create a suitable workout plan that aligns with your health status. Remember to listen to your body and stop any exercise that causes discomfort or pain.
