I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm. Its not really intense but it does come and go. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to angina or heart-related issues. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg to help with chest pain. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can also be used for chest pain relief.

I just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?

Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.

I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure is really low, and she's in a critical condition right now. Can you suggest some medicine that I can give her to help stabilize it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, can be a serious condition. It is important to seek medical help immediately if your wife is in a critical condition due to low blood pressure. In the meantime, you can give her oral rehydration solutions to help maintain her fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, you can consider using Fludrocortisone at a dosage of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise her blood pressure. However, please remember that these are temporary measures and she should still seek medical attention as soon as possible.
