Question

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.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG report. It showed a result of 800 sinus rhythm and 733 suspect inferior myocardial infarction. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean and how serious this might be? Do I need to take immediate action or get more tests done?

Question

Can someone explain what's going on with my mom's ECG report? The doctor said it's abnormal, and we need to do a TMT test in a month. They've given us some meds, but I really want to understand what's up. Any insights?

Question

I'm really puzzled about my situation. I've been getting a stress positive result on my TMT test for the last five years, even though my angiogram came back normal and I don't have any heart issues. I'm just wondering what steps I can take or medicines I might need to help me eventually get a stress normal result. Could you give me some advice on this?
