I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

I'm dealing with an anxiety disorder, and my doctor prescribed me 12 Ciplar LA 20. Unfortunately, it's out of stock, but I found Ciplar 10 instead. I'm wondering if they're the same or if I should do something different. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm experiencing some discomfort in my left arm and around my chest. I had a TMT done recently and the results came back negative, but I'm still feeling the pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The pain in your left arm and chest could be due to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. To help relieve the pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas can also provide relief. Make sure to rest the affected arm and chest, and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm worried because my wife has been taking Concor AM 5 and she's started experiencing some sweating and headaches. Could this be caused by the medication, or might something else be going on?

Your wife may be experiencing sweating and headache as side effects of Concor AM 5. These side effects are relatively common with this medication. I recommend consulting with her doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, she can try to stay hydrated and rest.
