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'm experiencing this pinching needle-like pain mainly in my left arm, back, left nipple, and even my left leg. It's really random and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that this might be related to a heart problem?

These symptoms could potentially be related to a heart issue, such as angina. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
