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 currently taking valprol CR300 twice a day and I'm 59 years old, weighing about 70kgs. I just got my blood tests back and my triglyceride levels are at 260. I'm wondering if this could be because of the medication? What other side effects should I be aware of? Is it safe for me to stop taking this medicine? I've had two epilepsy attacks, one in August 2014 and another in March 2015. Any advice would be appreciated.
