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 a bit worried after my full body health check-up. The ECG and stress ECG turned out normal, but the 2D Echo showed I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. And there were some issues in my chest X-ray too. I also have diabetes and I'm on medication for that. Plus, I've got a hernia operation coming up next week. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Should I go see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist?

first consult cardiologist.
