Question 2

I'm a 34-year-old who doesn't smoke or drink, and I've recently found out my triglycerides level is at 367. My doctor suggested I start taking Tonact TG, but I'm worried if this medication might cause my blood sugar levels to rise. Can you let me kno...

Accepted Answer

Tonact TG contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate which are commonly used to lower triglyceride levels. Atorvastatin may slightly increase blood sugar levels in some individuals, but this effect is usually minimal. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking Tonact TG. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is 1 tablet once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage your triglyceride levels effectively.

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about the medication I'm taking. I've been on Metolar XR 25 for about 15 years now, and I've developed ulcerative colitis. I'm starting to wonder if there's a chance the Metolar could be causing it. Should I think about switching to...

Accepted Answer

Metolar XR 25 contains Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. It is generally well-tolerated, but in some cases, it can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues such as ulcerative colitis. Considering your history of ulcerative colitis, it may be prudent to switch to a different medication that is less likely to aggravate your condition. I recommend consulting your doctor for a suitable alternative such as Atenolol 25mg once daily.

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned about getting the COVID vaccine because I had angioplasty about a decade ago and have been taking ecospirin tablets since then. I've heard that the vaccine might be risky for people with a history of blood clots. Could you please ...

Accepted Answer

It is generally safe for patients who have had angioplasty and are taking ecospirin (aspirin) to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of getting vaccinated against Covid-19 outweigh the risks, especially in individuals with a history of heart disease. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated to ensure it is safe for your specific medical condition.

Question 6

I recently got my routine health checkup results back, and the ECG report mentioned something about "ST-segment elevation lateral" and "borderline ECG." I'm not really sure what that means, and it's got me a bit worried. Could you help me understand ...

Accepted Answer

ST-segment elevation on an ECG can indicate a potential heart issue, such as myocardial infarction or heart attack. The lateral aspect refers to the left side of the heart. A borderline ECG means that the findings are not definitively abnormal but may warrant further investigation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.
