I'm concerned about my mother-in-law's medication. The doctor prescribed her Rosuvastatin 20mg, but we only have 10mg tablets at home. Can she take two 10mg tablets instead to make up the dose?

To achieve the prescribed dosage of Rosuvastatin 20mg for your mother-in-law, you can take two tablets of Rosuvastatin 10mg at the same time. This will provide the intended dosage as recommended by the doctor.

I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is 128 beats per minute under normal circumstances. Do you think I should see a doctor for this? Any advice would be really appreciated!

I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

Question

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had a heart attack at the end of October and initially had some anginal pain, but the meds seemed to help for a couple of months. After an angiography, her doctor found an 85% blockage in the LCX OM artery and decided to do an angioplasty. I was hoping that would improve things, but a month later, her LVEF dropped from 45 to 32. Before the angioplasty, her heart was stable, and the dimensions of the left atrium and ventricle seemed normal, but now they're dilated. I was expecting her to get better after the angioplasty and I'm really worried. It's just me and my mom, and I need some guidance on what could be happening. Can you help?
