I'm a bit concerned because I had a PTCA procedure about 14 months ago. Now, my doctor is suggesting I stop taking Axcer 90 mg twice daily for 5 days and just stick with Ecosprin 75 mg once a day. This is supposed to be for a CT-guided biopsy because I've got multiple lymph nodes in my abdomen. Is this safe, and should I be worried about any risks with stopping Axcer?

View allI'm wondering about my Atorvastatin prescription. I've been taking the 10 mg dose prescribed by Dr. Umashankar. When I saw you yesterday, I asked whether I should continue with it, but I'm not sure about what to do next. Also, the brand I was using isn't easily available. Could you advise on what brand I should go for and if I should keep taking it?
You can continue taking Atorvastatin 10 mg. If the previous brand is not available, you can try using Lipitor as an alternative. Take 10 mg of Lipitor once daily as prescribed by your doctor.

I've recently found out that my total cholesterol is 240, and my LDL cholesterol is 189. Should I be worried about these levels? Is it necessary for me to start taking medication to lower them, or can I manage it through other means? I'm aware these numbers are higher than normal, but I'm not sure I can stick to a strict diet. What do you recommend?
With a total cholesterol of 240 and LDL cholesterol of 189, it is considered high and can increase your risk for heart disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
