1. _Baseline check_: Your husband's cholesterol levels were checked in March 2018, providing a baseline measurement.
2. _Starting Rozat_: He was prescribed Rozat 20 mg to manage high cholesterol.

_Follow-Up Schedule_

1. _First follow-up_: Schedule a follow-up lipid profile test 6-8 weeks after starting Rozat to assess the medication's effectiveness.
2. _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.
3. _Annual check-ups_: Once cholesterol levels are stable, annual check-ups can help maintain optimal cholesterol levels.

Question 2

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me for a while now. Whenever I rub the same spot on both sides of my chin, I get the hiccups. It's always been like this, but I've never really worried about it until now. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

You can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to help alleviate the hiccups. If the hiccups persist, you can also try medications like chlorpromazine or metoclopramide under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this issue after getting into a fight where a girl pulled my hair really hard and even kicked it. Ever since then, I've noticed a dent in my head and when I try to put my hair up, there's this big lump that runs across my whole head. It feels like there's fluid inside and it's super uneven. I've been to the doctor and even the hospital, but nobody seems to know what it is, and it's really painful. What could this be, and do you have any ideas on how I can get relief?

Accepted Answer

That could be contusion or hematoma no need to worry it will settle with time take adequate rest and you can try warm compression
