I've been feeling really dizzy and I've learned it's due to functional vertigo. Could you suggest some exercises or things I can do to help improve this? I'm kinda worried and want to make sure I'm handling it right.

Monitoring Cholesterol Levels After Starting Rosuvastatin (Rozat)

Initial Monitoring

Baseline check: Your husband's cholesterol levels were checked in March 2018, providing a baseline measurement.

Starting Rozat: He was prescribed Rozat 20 mg to manage high cholesterol.

Follow-Up Schedule

First follow-up: Schedule a follow-up lipid profile test 6-8 weeks after starting Rozat to assess the medication's effectiveness.

Subsequent follow-ups: After the initial follow-up, schedule lipid profile tests every 3-6 months to monitor cholesterol levels and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Annual check-ups: Once cholesterol levels are stable, annual check-ups can help maintain optimal cholesterol levels.

Additional Recommendations

Lifestyle modifications: Encourage your husband to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management.

Medication adherence: Ensure he takes Rozat as prescribed and attends scheduled follow-up appointments.

I'm having this issue with dizziness, like when I get up from watching TV on the sofa, I feel really light-headed. It's been going on for about six months now. My diet seems fine, and I recently checked my blood pressure, which was 90 over 110, and they said that's normal. But if my blood pressure is okay, then what's causing this dizziness? I really need to figure out what's going on and how to treat it.

It sounds like you may be experiencing **orthostatic hypotension**, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, causing dizziness. Even though your BP is within a normal range, this condition can still occur. Its important to stay hydrated, rise slowly from sittinglying positions, and avoid sudden movements. If the symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out other causes, such as inner ear issues or blood sugar imbalances.
