I'm really concerned about my 3-month-old son. He's got an ASD that's 7 mm wide. I'm just wondering, what are the chances it might close up on its own? Would appreciate any insight you could offer.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure being 14090. Is that considered high? I've just turned 30, weigh 72 kg, and Im already taking rozavel 10 for dyslipidemia. Should I get on some medication for this, or could lifestyle changes do the trick? I do exercise daily for 20 minutes and eat less outside food and salt. What do you think?

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.
