Question 1

I'm Manoj and I'm 30 years old. I've been taking Rozavel F because I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. My LDL is 147, HDL is 32, and triglycerides are 240. I recently had an ECG, and the results showed a borderline ECG and an anteroseptal T wave abnormality that's non-specific. Should I be concerned about these findings? What steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 65 and had open heart surgery last June. He's also been dealing with some CLVA on his left side for about 8 years. Just last week, he started having swelling in his legs. Can you help me understand what's causing this?

Accepted Answer

Swelling in the legs could be due to several factors, including heart-related issues such as heart failure, especially after open-heart surgery. It could also be related to his history of CLVA (Chronic Left Ventricular Aneurysm), which can affect circulation. I recommend getting a medical evaluation to determine the exact cause and ensure proper treatment.

Question 3

I'm really worried because my cholesterol numbers have recently changed quite a bit. In July 2019, my LDL was 175 and HDL was 45, so my doctor put me on Atormac 10 mg. After taking it for three months, by October 2019, my LDL went down to 100, but my HDL also dropped to 32. My doctor said not to worry, but I'm concerned about my HDL levels dropping so quickly. What should I do about this?

Accepted Answer

Regarding your decreased HDL levels in just three months, it is important to focus on lifestyle changes to improve your HDL levels. You can start by incorporating regular physical activity, such as aerobic exercise, into your routine. Additionally, you can include healthy fats in your diet, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon, can also help raise HDL levels. In terms of medication, you can continue taking Atormac 10 mg as prescribed by your doctor to help lower your LDL levels. However, if you are concerned about your HDL levels, you may want to discuss with your doctor the possibility of switching to a different medication that can help improve HDL levels, such as fenofibrate. Remember to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to help improve your HDL levels along with medication
