Monitoring Cholesterol Levels After Starting Rosuvastatin (Rozat)

_Initial Monitoring_

1. _Baseline check_: Your husband's cholesterol levels were checked in March 2018, providing a baseline measurement.
2. _Starting Rozat_: He was prescribed Rozat 20 mg to manage high cholesterol.

_Follow-Up Schedule_

1. _First follow-up_: Schedule a follow-up lipid profile test 6-8 weeks after starting Rozat to assess the medication's effectiveness.
2. _Subsequent follow-ups_: After the initial follow-up, schedule lipid profile tests every 3-6 months to monitor cholesterol levels and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
3. _Annual check-ups_: Once cholesterol levels are stable, annual check-ups can help maintain optimal cholesterol levels.

_Additional Recommendations_

1. _Lifestyle modifications_: Encourage your husband to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management.
2. _Medication adherence_: Ensure he takes Rozat as prescribed and attends scheduled follow-up appointments.

Question 2

MRI shows a type 2 AICA loop in my left ear causing vertigo. I've tried multiple treatments but nothing helps. Is surgery an option to remove the loop, and how complex would it be?

You have tinnitus or giddiness? Type II still can be conservatively managed and it might be a incidental finding! Needs detailed history and evaluation

Question 3

I've been dealing with a bulging disc at L4 L5 S1 on my right side, and I used to get this electric shock-like pain down my right leg when sleeping, walking, or sneezing. But now the pain has switched to my left leg in the same area, and the worst part is I'm getting that shooting current-like pain in my left front thigh joint when walking. Is there any way this can heal completely without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest bilateral nerve involvement. Non-surgical options like physiotherapy, posture correction, and medications can help, but MRI and expert evaluation are essential.

I'm 24 but my brain doesn't feel like it's developed properly for my age could I have some kind of congenital brain issue? Would brain surgery even help with this or is there another way to address it?
