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?

My mom had an angioplasty a couple of weeks ago, and she's also got type 2 diabetes. I'm really concerned because her ESR level is at 78. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean something serious?
An elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 78 mmhr indicates inflammation or infection in the body, which can be concerning, especially in a patient who has recently undergone angioplasty and has type 2 diabetes. While a high ESR is not specific to one condition, it warrants further investigation to identify the underlying cause. It's important to consult with your mother's healthcare provider to determine the source of the elevated ESR and address it appropriately. They may recommend additional tests or treatments based on their findings. Close monitoring and managing her diabetes effectively are also crucial to avoid complications.

I'm really concerned about my husband's heart; his heartbeat is always too fast. He says it's been like this since he was a child. Should I be worried about this?
Hi, if your husband's heart rate is consistently fast, it is important to have him evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause. One common condition that can cause a fast heart rate is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) can be prescribed to help control the heart rate. However, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
