I'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.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband who's 41 years old. He's been experiencing some pain on the left side of his chest every now and then, but when we did an ECG and an X-ray, everything came back normal. He weighs about 78 kg. Should I be worried even though the tests are normal? What else could be causing this pain?
gastritis rule out.

I'm looking for some advice about my heart health. I had a CT coronary angiogram about three years ago because I was having chest pains and my exercise capacity was low. The results showed no significant stenosis in any artery, but Im wondering if minor blockages might have been overlooked. Also, it mentioned that my circulation is left dominant, and I'm curious if that could be related to my chest pain. Do you think it's necessary to repeat the CT angio even though I'm worried about the radiation exposure?
If your CT coronary angiogram from 3 years ago showed no significant stenosis in any artery, it means that there were no major blockages detected at that time. Minor blocks may not have been mentioned in the report because they were not significant enough to cause concern. The fact that your circulation is left dominant is just a variation in the blood supply to your heart and is not necessarily a cause for chest pain. Based on the information provided, if you are still experiencing chest pains or other concerning symptoms, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine if a repeat CT angio or other cardiac tests are necessary. However, the decision to repeat the CT angio should be based on your current symptoms and risk factors, rather than just for routine surveillance. It is important to weigh the potential benefits of the test against the risks of radiation exposure.

I'm getting palpitations after just one drink of alcohol and my ECG results show something about a QRST contour abnormality and possible inferior myocardial damage. What should I do about this?
Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to avoid alcohol consumption. You should also consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and protect your heart. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Aspirin (75-150mg) to reduce the risk of further myocardial damage. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
