I'm a bit concerned because my LDL levels are slightly high. I've attached my recent lab results for you to review. Could you please advise on what steps I should take? Is medication necessary in this case?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hi Sir, if your LDL levels are slightly high, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any medication. Regular exercise and a healthy diet low in saturated fats can also help in managing LDL levels.

I'm a bit worried about my father's health. His INR is 1.90, and I'm wondering how much warfarin he should be taking. Also, after his ECG, when should we schedule an ECG or ECO test? I'd really appreciate your guidance.
Typically, the initial dose of Warfarin is usually 2 to 5 mg per day. However, the dosage may need to be adjusted based on regular INR monitoring. As for when he should do his ECG and ECO after starting Warfarin, it is generally recommended to have these tests done regularly to monitor his heart health and the effects of the medication. It is best to consult his healthcare provider for specific guidance on the timing of these tests based on his individual health needs.
